Harmonizing a Poem (beside Palace Attendant Guo.)

 High beyond the thick wall a tower shines with sunset 
Where peach and plum are blooming and the willowcotton flies.
 
You have heard in your office the court-bell of twilight; 
Birds find perches, officials head for home.
 
Your morning-jade will tinkle as you thread the golden palace; 
You will bring the word of Heaven from the closing gates at night.
 
And I should serve there with you; but being full of years, 
I have taken off official robes and am resting from my troubles.
