Wei Ying-Wu (737-791)

Alone at Night at My Monastic Residence: To Secretary Ts’u
 
The recluse is in bed but not asleep
leaves are falling in flurries
a cold rain makes the late night darker
fireflies are gone from the tower
the blue flames of dawn are no help
I still suffer from a thin summer robe
I didn’t realize the year was so lateor living apart was so lonely
