A Poem by Tu Fu


The days grow long, the mountains
Beautiful. The south wind blows
Over blossoming meadows.
Newly arrivedswallows dart
Over the steaming marshes.
Ducks in pairs drowse on the warm sand.

  Tu Fu, 713-779
                                                                ( translation by Kenneth Rexroth)
