Remembering Jiangnan
By Bai Juyi
Translated by A. C. Graham
Remembered of Jiangnan,
The best remembered is Hangzhou.
In a hill temple in the moonlight searching for cassia buds,
In the State Pavilion, head on pillow, watching the tidal wave.
When will be the day that I shall roam again?
白居易：憶江南
江南憶 最憶是杭州
山奇月中尋桂子
郡亭枕上看湖頭
何日更重遊
