Lovely horse carts fill the roads, flutes fill the air, the lanterns glimmer and spin, fish and dragons dance in the night. The moths and the snowy willows with their golden branches, sweet laughter floats in the darkness. Searching for her hundreds of times in the crowds, when I suddenly turn, she stands under the lantern's dim light.
