Love in Long-life Hall

On seventh day of seventh moon when none was near,
At midnight in Long-life Hall he whispered in her ear:
“On high we would be two birds flying wing to wing;
On earth two trees with branches twined from spring to spring.”

The emperor’s love for his Lady which ends in the army’s revolt and in her tragic death is considered as a turning point of Tang dynasty’s decline and fall.
