Marble Steps Complaint
Li Bai



Jade steps grow white dew
Night long encroach gauze stocking
But fall crystal curtain
Exquisite view autumn moon
White dew grows on the marble steps,
And in the long night, soaks into my stockings.
But now I let the crystal curtain down,
And gaze through it at the autumn moon.
