Li Ching Chao Red Poems
- 1. Tz'u No. 12
To the tune of "Happy Event Is Nigh"
The wind ceases; fallen flowers pile high.
Outside my screen, petals collect in heaps of red
... - 2. Tz'u No. 7
To the tune of "Rinsing Silk Stream"
Let not the deep cup be filled
with rich, amber-colored wine;
... - 3. Tz'u No. 3
To the tune "Red Lips"
Tired of swinging
indolent
... - 4. Tz'u No. 9 (weary)
To the tune of "Rinsing Silk Stream"
Saddened by the dying spring, I am too weary
to rearrange my hair.
... - 5. Tz'u No. 6 (waiting For You)
To the tune of "Red Lips"
Lonely in my secluded chamber,
A thousand sorrows fill every inch
... - 6. Sorrow Of Departure
Red lotus incense fades on
The jeweled curtain. Autumn
Comes again. Gently I open
My silk dress and float alone
... - 7. Tz'u No. 4
To the tune of "Like a Dream"
Last night a sprinkling of rain,
a violent wind.
... - 8. Last Night
Last
night
thin
rain,
...
