The Dew is Heavy on the Grass Poem by Helen Jane Waddell

The Dew is Heavy on the Grass



At last the sun is set.
Fill up, fill up the cups of jade,
The night's before us yet!

All night the dew will heavy lie
Upon the grass and clover.
Too soon, too soon, the dew will dry,
Too soon the night be over!

translated from the Chinese; written twelfth century B.C.
