唐诗三百首英译 李商隐：无题之三

七言律诗

李商隐

无题之三

相见时难别亦难， 东风无力百花残。

春蚕到死丝方尽， 蜡炬成灰泪始乾。

晓镜但愁云鬓改， 夜吟应觉月光寒。

蓬莱此去无多路， 青鸟殷勤为探看。

Seven-character-regular-verse

Li Shangyin

TO ONE UNNAMED III

Time was long before I met her， but is longer since we parted，

And the east wind has arisen and a hundred flowers are gone，

And the silk-worms of spring will weave until they die

And every night the candles will weep their wicks away.

Mornings in her mirror she sees her hair-cloud changing，

Yet she dares the chill of moonlight with her evening song.

……It is not so very far to her Enchanted Mountain

O blue-birds， be listening！-Bring me what she says！
