鱼玄机·《寄国香》

旦夕醉吟身，相思又此春。

雨中寄书使，窗下断肠人。

山卷珠帘看，愁随芳草新。

别来清宴上，几度落梁尘。

To a Singer

Yu Xuanji

Drunken she bemoans her fate

from morning until night;

longing for another,

whom can she tell of her plight?

A letter comes in the rain,

a heart breaks by the window.

Gazing into the mountains

as she rolls up the blind,

along with the fragrant grasses

sadness comes to mind.

How many times

since we’ve been apart

have your clear songs

filled the air?

（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
