A Poem Given to a Beautiful Woman Encountered on a Field-Path
By Li T’ai-Po
The magnificent horse, galloping swiftly, tramples the fallen flower.
Down comes the riding-whip, straight down—it strikes the Five Cloud Cart.
The young person who lifts the pearl door-screen is very beautiful. Moreover, she smiles.
She points to a Red Building in the distance—it is the home of the Flower Maiden.
