A Tavern Poem by Luo Zhihai

A small town in the south of the Yangtze River, a smoking willow lane in the old street
Wilderness beyond the North Great Wall, an apricot yellow flag fluttering in a tavern
Dim lamps shadows dark, poetic feeling tired at midnight
Cold moon and stars, flute rhyme chilly at the late night

酒肆


江南小镇老街烟柳巷
塞北荒原酒肆杏黄旗
半夜昏灯暗影诗情倦
五更冷月寒星笛韵凄
