唐诗三百首英译 杜甫：春宿左省

五言律诗

杜甫

春宿左省

花隐掖垣暮， 啾啾栖鸟过。

星临万户动， 月傍九霄多。

不寝听金钥， 因风想玉珂。

明朝有封事， 数问夜如何。

A NIGHT-VIGIL IN THE LEFT COURT OF THE PALACE

Flowers are shadowed， the palace darkens，

Birds twitter by for a place to perch；

Heaven's ten thousand windows are twinkling，

And nine cloud-terraces are gleaming in the moonlight.

……While I wait for the golden lock to turn，

I hear jade pendants tinkling in the wind……

I have a petition to present in the morning，

All night I ask what time it is.
