A Day in late Autumn
By William He

Unsuspected when coming upon the white crane,
The hermit follows his traces through the years.
Twilight withers and writhes in Autumn's wild,
Chrysanths scattered like eyesight by the fence.
Cloud picturing to itself the torment of Tantalus,
Raindrop has the comfort mist of the wind blow.
Why wasting the dawn and the lamenting voice,
The hearts like muffled drums beating a long roll.

七律 辛丑重阳
作者:何威廉

白鹤渚烟无本影,
醒来犹自记余音。
岭肩纤削秋光晚,
菊月残凋笑靥深。
云结岩栖临五境,
雨敲蕉叶寄清琴。
几时阴霁浮天外,
心远方知更远心。

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
" Through the Years" : " Through the Years" is a song written by Steve Dorff and Marty Panzer, and recorded by American country music artist Kenny Rogers. It was released in December 1981 as the fourth single from the album Share Your Love. " Tantalus" : In Greek mythology, king of Sipylos, son of Zeus and father of Pelops and Niobe. He was admitted to the society of the gods, but his abominable behavior aroused their anger, and Zeus condemned him to suffer eternally at Tantalus. As punishment he was condemned to hang from the bough of a fruit tree over a pool of water. When he bent to drink, the water would recede; when he reached for a fruit, the wind would blow it from his reach. " Wasting The Dawn" : The 69 Eyes Lyrics. 'Wasting The Dawn'. been running away so long from the day into the strange night of stone. to fade away as the light is gently bleeding out of my soul. Penetrating the evening as I ride on this endless road. but you can't turn back the time it always gonna wait on the line.
