Ezra Pound - The Jewel Stairs' Grievance 

The jewelled steps are already quite white with dew,
It is so late that the dew soaks my gauze stockings,
And I let down the crystal curtain
And watch the moon through the clear autumn.

I am amazed that no comment was made on this poem. It is an unmatchable example of lyrics, no matter far east or near west.
