Longing in the Boudoir
Language: English after the Chinese (中文)
A smile of happy recollection lights up her face As she gently draws aside the curtain Embroidered with blooming lotus, And leans against the jewelled duck censer, Her perfumed cheek on her hand, musing. If she but rolls her eyes She will immediately give herself away. That first sweet meeting full of tenderest love! She might as aell send half a page With endearing reproaches unburdening a pensive heart, And have him come again When the moon is moving the flower shadows.
