by Bai Juyi (772 - 846)
Translation by George X. Fu

Ease
Language: English  after the Chinese (中文) 
Lined coat, warm cap, felt slippers,
In the little tower, at the low window, sitting over the sunken stove.
Body at ease, heart at peace; nothing to wake early for
Do the courtiers in the Western Capital know of these things, or not?
