Overnight at the Riverside Tower by Tu Fu
Evening colors linger on mountain paths. Out beyond this study perched over River Gate, At the cliff's edge, frail clouds stay All night. Among waves, a lone, shuddering
Moon. As cranes trail off in flight, silent, Wolves snarl over their kill. I brood on Our wars, sleepless here and, to right A relentless Heaven and Earth, powerless.
