Precious horses and carved carriages pass through the roads, Leaving a trail of the fragrance. In flute music that moves even the phoenixes, And as the moon slowly ascend and descend, Lights dazzle through the lanterns of fish and dragons, Dancing all night long. Maidens wear hairpins of moth, silver willows, and golden threads, Laughing, chattering, and filling the air with a subtle scent. In the crowd, I searched for that person again and again. Suddenly, as I turn around, The face is there: Where the lights are dim and sparse.
