'The Bamboo Grove', by Wang Wei

Sitting alone in a remote bamboo grove.
Plucking my lute again and crooning.
Deep in the forest no one is aware.
The bright moon arrives and we shine on each other.
 

Wang Wei (699-759)

(Wang Wei is considered to be one of the three great Chinese poets of the Tang Dynasty period. He also was musician & painter. His poetry speaks of the Buddhist and Taoist ideals of retreat and life amidst nature.)
