Autumn Evening
Poet: Doan Thi Diem

The rain falls drop by drop on the banana leaves
Who is the artist who has created this melancholy landscape?…
The rain falls drop by drop on the banana leaves
Who is the artist who has created this melancholy landscape?
A century-old tree spreads out its emerald-green parasol
And the river quietly rolls its white waters, endlessly,
From the flask of wine flow out mounts and river,
Wind and moon have filled this bag of poetry
Nature is united to the soul;
Such scenery leaves you dreaming
