Spring Night in the Left Office

By Du Fu
Flowers hide palace wall dusk Chirp chirp perch bird go Star overlook 10,000 door move Moon near nine heavens more Not rest hear gold key Because wind feel jade bridle pendant Tomorrow morning have letter business Count ask night like what
Flowers in shadow, palace wall at dusk, Chirping birds are flying back to roost. Stars move above the ten thousand doors; The moon is big nearing the nine heavens. Not sleeping, I hear a golden key; In the wind, I think there are jade pendants. Tomorrow morning, I have to present a memorial, Again and again, I ask about the night.
