Early Autumn
Through the long night the clear zephyrs roam,
The west wind stirs the emerald vines.
Faint fireflies rest on the jade-white dew,
Early wild geese brush the River of Stars.
At dawn the tall trees seem yet more dense,
In clear weather the distant hills show more peaks.
A single leaf falls south of the Huai,
And I feel the waves stir on Dongting Lake.
早秋
遙夜泛清瑟，西風生翠蘿。
殘螢棲玉露，早雁拂金河。
高樹曉還密，遠山晴更多。
淮南一葉下，自覺洞庭波。
