North Mountain

Wang Anshi 1021-1086 North mountai sends down green flooding the embankment The city moat and crescent lake shimmer in the light Counting every falling petal I forget the time Searching for sweet-smelling plants I return home late

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese. Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
