Confucius - An Ode Appropriate To A FestivityConfucius - An Ode Appropriate To A Festivity
Work rating: Low


The dew lies heavy all around,   Nor, till the sun shines, leaves the ground.   Far into night we feasting sit;   We drink, and none his place may quit.   The dew lies heavy, and its gems   Stud the luxuriant, grassy stems.   The happy night with wassail rings;   So feasted here the former kings.   The jujube and the willow-tree   All fretted with the dew we see.   Each guest`s a prince of noble line,   In whom the virtues all combine.   The _t`ung_ and _e_ their fruits display,   Pendant from every graceful spray.   My guests are joyous and serene,   No haggard eye, no ruffled mien.
