CHINESE SPRING, by                    
First Line: The moon of flowers is here
Last Line: The moon of flowers is here!
Subject(s): Moon; Spring


The Moon of Flowers is here,
And there above the pool's jade depth
Red lilies lift their heads
To the musk-heavy air;
In the cinnamon tree
The misted moonlight hangs like incense,
And a solitary nightingale sings sadly
To the gold-eyed moon.
The little breezes weep and sigh
In the red willows,
While the white poppies
Drugged with sleep,
Nod slowly to the jewelled night, --
The Moon of Flowers is here!
