Dongting Lake: Five Poems: No. 5
Two palace ladies who jumped into the confluence of the Xiao and Xiang rivers will not come back
All that remains are empty Dongting autumn grasses.
They sweep the lake clean to open up a clarity, a jade mirror
Small lake islet suitable for a red and green painting.
Notes:
Xiao and Xiang: The Xiao feeds into the Xiang, which is a large tributary to the Changjiang in Henan Province.
