Harmonizing a Poem

（单词翻译:单击）

High beyond the thick wall a tower shines with sunset

　　Where peach and plum are blooming and the willowcotton flies.

　　You have heard in your office the court-bell of twilight¹；

　　Birds find perches²， officials head for home.

　　Your morning-jade will tinkle³ as you thread the golden palace；

　　You will bring the word of Heaven from the closing gates at night.

　　And I should serve there with you； but being full of years，

　　I have taken off official robes and am resting from my troubles.
