Thunder heard a hundred miles,
The song of the lute falls still.
Horsemen stream from the compound gate
And riverside watch for the tide.
The sun hangs far in the autumn air,
Clouds float on the vastness of sea.
Then an egret wave like a surge of snow
All at once, a frost-born chill.
The song of the lute falls still.
Horsemen stream from the compound gate
And riverside watch for the tide.
The sun hangs far in the autumn air,
Clouds float on the vastness of sea.
Then an egret wave like a surge of snow
All at once, a frost-born chill.
