“花非花 霧非霧 夜半來 天明去 來如春夢幾多時 去似朝云無覓處 The bloom is not a bloom, The mist not mist. At midnight she comes, And goes again at dawn. She comes like a spring dream - how long will she stay? She goes like morning cloud, without a trace.”

The Bloom is Not a Bloom (花非花) by Bai Juyi (白居易). Tang Dynasty. Translated by Mark Alexander.
Bai Juyi was a renowned poet and government official from the Mid-Tang period. Known for his short verses written in simple language, his poetry was based on observations of his daily life as a governor of three provinces.
Among his most famous works are the long narrative poems, Song of Everlasting Sorrow, telling the story of Yang Guifei, and The Song of The Pipa Player. Bai is one of the most widely read poets of the East and West, and was influential in the historical development of Japanese literature.
