Jeweled Zither

-- Translated by John Turner

Vain are the jeweled zither's fifty strings.
Each string, each stop, bears thought of vanished things.
The sage of his loved butterflies day-dreaming,
The king that sighed his soul into a bird.
Tears that are pearls, in ocean moonlight streaming;
Jade mists the sun distils from Sapphire Sward.
What need their memory to recall today ?
A day was theirs, which is now passed away.
