沐 风

By Mu Feng

    舞低云月醉初销，

Dancing till low clouds and moon, her first tipsiness fades away;

    歌破冰壶亦作娇。

Her song pierces the icy jade pot, yet coquettishly holds its sway.

    状若盘莲留艳骨，

She sits like a lotus on a tray, leaving behind her enchanting bone;

    金梯踏夜引琼箫。

At night she climbs the golden stairs, leading a jade flute's soft tone.
