Crows Cawing At Dusk By Li Bo - Translated By Eugene Levich Poem by Eugene Levich

Yellow clouds above the city—crows flying to perches
Screaming—caw! caw! —they flock on branches
At a loom weaving brocade—a woman from Qin Rivers
Screened from talk by a smoky window cloth
She halts her shuttle and remembers one far off
In a solitary room—alone—her tears fall like rain
