(701-762)

Farewell to Secretary Shu-yun at the Hsieh Tiao Villa in Hsuan-Chou
Since yesterday had throw me and bolt,
A Mountain Revelry
To wash and rinse our souls of their age-old sorrows,
A Vindication
If heaven loved not the wine,
About Tu Fu
I met Tu Fu on a mountaintop
Alone And Drinking Under The Moon
Amongst the flowers I
Alone Looking at the Mountain
All the birds have flown up and gone;
Amidst the Flowers a Jug of Wine
Amidst the flowers a jug of wine,
Autumn River Song
The moon shimmers in green water.
Bathed and Washed
"Bathed in fragrance,
Before The Cask of Wine
The spring wind comes from the east and quickly passes,
Bringing in the Wine
See how the Yellow River's water move out of heaven.
Ch'ing P'ing Tiao
Clouds bring back to mind her dress, the flowers her face.
Chiang Chin Chiu
See the waters of the Yellow River leap down from Heaven, Roll away to the deep sea and never turn again! See at the mirror
Chuang Tzu And The Butterfly
Chuang Tzu in dream became a butterfly,
Clearing at Dawn
The fields are chill, the sparse rain has stopped;
Climbing West Of Lotus Flower Peak
Amongst the grandeur of Hua Shan
Confessional
There was wine in a cup of gold
Down from the Mountain
As down Mount Emerald at eve I came,
Drinking Alone
I take my wine jug out among the flowers
Drinking With Someone In The Mountains
As the two of us drink
Gazing at the Cascade on Lu Mountain
Where crowns a purple haze
Going Up Yoyang Tower
We climbed Yoyang Tower with
Good Old Moon
When I was a boy I called the moon a
Green Mountain
You ask me why I dwell in the green mountain;
Hard is the Journey
Gold vessels of fine wines,
His Dream Of The Skyland
The seafarers tell of the Eastern Isle of Bliss,
Leaving White King City
White King City I left at dawn
Listening to a Flute in Yellow Crane Pavillion
I came here a wanderer
Looking For A Monk And Not Finding Him
I took a small path leading
Marble Stairs Grievance
On Marble Stairs
Moon over Mountain Pass
A bright moon rising above Tian Shan Mountain,
Mountain Drinking Song
To drown the ancient sorrows,
Nefarious War
Last year we fought by the head-stream of the Sang-kan,
On A Picture Screen
Whence these twelve peaks of Wu-shan!
On Climbing in Nan-king to the Terrace of Phoenixes
Phoenixes that play here once, so that the place was named for them,
On Dragon Hill
Drunk on Dragon Hill tonight,
On Kusu Terrace
The old gardens of Kusu Terrace
Parting at a Wine-shop in Nan-king
A wind, bringing willow-cotton, sweetens the shop,
Quiet Night Thoughts
Before my bed
Resentment Near the Jade Stairs
Dew whitens the jade stairs.
Self-Abandonment
I sat srinking and did not notice the dusk,
She Spins Silk
Far up river in Szechuan,
Song of the Forge
The forge-fire sets a glow in the heavens,
Song Of The Jade Cup
A jade cup was broken because old age came
Spring Night in Lo-yang Hearing a Flute
In what house, the jade flute that sends these dark notes drifting,
Summer in the Mountains
Gently I stir a white feather fan,
Taking Leave of a Friend
Blue mountains lie beyond the north wall;
The Cold Clear Spring At Nanyang
A pity it is evening, yet
The Old Dust
The living is a passing traveler;
Thoughts in a Tranquil Night
Athwart the bed
Three—With the Moon and His Shadow
With a jar of wine I sit by the flowering trees.
Through the YangZi Gorges
From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
To His Two Children
In the land of Wu the mulberry leaves are green,
To Tan-Ch'iu
My friend is lodging high in the Eastern Range,
To Tu Fu from Shantung
You ask how I spend my time--
To Wang Lun
I was about to sail away in a junk,
Under the Moon
Under the crescent moon's faint glow
Visiting A Taoist On Tiatien Mountain
Amongst bubbling streams
Waterfall at Lu-shan
Sunlight streams on the river stones.
Ziyi Song
Chang-an -- one slip of moon;
