Spontaneous Poem Written To Dispel Sorrow
Du Mu 803-852

Down on my luck, wandering,
wine in hand...

Those slim waisted girls,
so tiny they could dance in my palm.

Ten years of it, and I waken
from the Yangzhou City dream,

where even among the blue houses
I won a name for inconstancy.
 
Qiǎnhuái
Dù Mǔ 803-852

Luòpòjiānghú zài jiǔ xíng,
Chǔyāo xiānxì zhǎng zhōng qīng.
Shíniān yī jué Yángzhōu mèng,
Yíngdé qīnglóu báo xìng míng.
