But now that age comes, A moment of joy is harder and harder to get. Bai Juyi gay age joy If the Fleeting World is but a long dream, it does not matter whether one is young or old. Bai Juyi fleeting-world dream long Autumn clouds, vague and obscure; The evening, lonely and chill. I felt the dampness on my garments, But saw no spot, and heard no sound of rain. Bai Juyi lonely summer rain Fumes of wine shorten the long road. Bai Juyi long-road wine long Heat lingers Bai Juyi lonely morning lying A little child paddles a little boat, Drifting about, and picking white lotuses. He does not know how to hide his tracks, And duckweed's opened up along his path. Bai Juyi summer spring children A strip of water's spread in the setting sun, Half the river's emerald, half is red. I love the third night of the ninth month, The dew is like a pearl; the moon like a bow.
