唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

無題之二
颯颯東風細雨來， 芙蓉塘外有輕雷。
金蟾齧璅燒香入， 玉虎牽絲汲井迴。
賈氏窺簾韓掾少， 宓妃留枕魏王才。
春心莫共花爭發， 一寸想思一寸灰。

原文 213

A misty rain comes blowing with a wind from the east,
And wheels faintly thunder beyond Hibiscus Pool.
...Round the golden-toad lock, incense is creeping;
The jade tiger tells, on its cord, of water being drawn
A great lady once, from behind a screen, favoured a poor youth;
A fairy queen brought a bridal mat once for the ease of a prince and then vanished.
...Must human hearts blossom in spring, like all other flowers?
And of even this bright flame of love, shall there be only ashes?

Bynner 213
