Three Hundred Poems

Grief of the Abandoned Queen (Wang Changling)

Chapter 68

At dawn, broom in hand, she sweeps the golden palace gates wide open,

Pausing with a round fan, she lingers by its side.

Her lovely face cannot match the winter crow's hue,

For on its wings still clings the sunlight from Zhaoyang Hall as it flew.
