章台夜思
韦庄
清瑟怨遥夜， 绕弦风雨哀。
孤灯闻楚角， 残月下章台。
芳草已云暮， 故人殊未来。
乡书不可寄， 秋雁又南回。
A NIGHT THOUGHT ON TERRACE TOWER
Wei Zhuang
Far through the night a harp is sighing
With a sadness of wind and rain in the strings....
There's a solitary lantern, a bugle-call --
And beyond Terrace Tower down goes the moon.
...Fragrant grasses have changed and faded
While still I have been hoping that my old friend would come....
There are no more messengers I can send him,
Now that the wildgeese have turned south.
