Talking with My Cousin One Summer Night

Dou Shuxiang

The courtyard’s fragrant with flowers blowing at night;

When night is deep, we wake from wine in drizzling rain.

We’ve not received from far away letters we write;

It’s hard to talk about the bygone days with pain.

The children of the past have all grown tall and high;

Half of our friends and kinsmen are gone and departed

Tomorrow when my lonely boat bids you goodbye,

Can we, seeing the streamers, not be broken-hearted?

The poet, appreciated by the premier, was transferred after the premier’s dismissal.
