唐诗三百首英译 李商隐：瑶池

七言绝句

李商隐

瑶池

瑶池阿母绮窗开， 黄竹歌声动地哀。

八骏日行三万里， 穆王何事不重来。

THE JADE POOL

The Mother of Heaven， in her window by the Jade Pool，

Hears The Yellow Bamboo Song shaking the whole earth.

Where is Emperor Mu， with his eight horses running

Ten thousand miles a day？ Why has he never come back？
