Bamboo Dwelling

By Wang Wei
Translated from Chinese by Jeffrey Yang

Sitting alone       within a hidden bamboo
grove    plucking the qin   repeating long
howls        in a deep forest no one knows
bright moon        illuminates the harmony

 

English

Sitting alone       within a hidden bamboo

howls        in a deep forest no one knows
