Taking the steps to the west pavilliions lonely

Silently taking the steps to the west pavillions alone,

The narrow thin moon is like a hook,

The lonely phonix tree standing at the corner of yard in the cold autumn,
you can't cut off, and difficult to tidy up

it is the thoughts of being parted,

And this sorrow just came to your heart difficult to describe.

This is a poem by a femal poet called Qingzhao Li in nearly 1000 years ago,
Just a poem written about her husband went out to another place for quite long time, and she felt lonely and climbing up the steps to the pavillion of her yard, appreciating the cold moon in a autumn.

the lonely phonex tree was in the yard to accompany her.
The link is this poem being sung by Teresa Teng,very sweet song.

I really liked Chinese poetry in my World Literature class years and years ago.

But I can't say I really like to sit and read poems.

But this one was very nice....and short!
I don't like all poems. Very sadly there aren't anymore real good literary in china.I translated this chinese poem for us to get a taste of ancient chinese literary.

I like the video link in which my favorite singer sang the poem.
The singer also passed away.She was from Taiwan, her songs are so ever lasting that they are sung even nowadays even she passed away in 1990s
