   Shen Xiaxian        by DU Mu (803-852 Late Tang Dynasty)
For this man’s unaffected voice, who can ever play a chord?
Amid the mossy paths beneath weeds, no trace of him can be found.
One night by the Little Fu mountainside may accommodate many a dream,
And water encircles like a jade pendant, and the moon is shining on your bosom.http://poetrychinese.blogspot.com/search/label/DU%20Mu



To your clear voice, who could echo in chorus or answer in verse?      16
Here on grassy paths with moss and weeds, if sought, you are not found  15
Dreaming, dusk into night, at the foot of Little Fu Mountain  15
water a jade circle pendant, moon a silver silk panel over the heart.  19


To your clear voice, who could echo in chorus or answer in verse?
Here on grassy paths gone to moss and weeds, if sought, you are not found.  16
Dreaming, from dusk into night, at the foot of Little Fu Mountain.   16
Water a circlet of jade; moon, a silver silk panel over the heart.
