Elites Poem by Luo Zhihai

精英


黄桥旧雨春江月
翠柳新烟树尾风
自古寒门出俊彦
如今贵胄少精英


Elites


The old rain on the yellow bridge
moon of the spring river
Wind of the treetops in the emerald green willows
the new smoke
Since ancient times
talented persons preeminently
from the poor families
Now less elites in the offspring of the nobility
