Days Of Long Ago

The first line came to me suddenly while I was washing a dish.

1 遠見山頭甘露臨 Far away, sweet dew approached the mountain tops,
2 一刻久隔三秋心 A heart’s moment of separation is like passing of three autumns long.
3 西湖明月仍未眠 The bright moon of West Lake has yet to sleep,
4 橋上何會雨夜吟 Why would there be sighing on the bridge during a rainy night?

1 Sweet dew means rain.  Can also be interpreted the act of fertilizing the earth.
