唐诗三百首英译 李商隐：无题之二

七言律诗

李商隐

无题之二

飒飒东风细雨来， 芙蓉塘外有轻雷。

金蟾啮璅烧香入， 玉虎牵丝汲井回。

贾氏窥帘韩掾少， 宓妃留枕魏王才。

春心莫共花争发， 一寸想思一寸灰。

Seven-character-regular-verse

Li Shangyin

TO ONE UNNAMED II

A misty rain comes blowing with a wind from the east，

And wheels faintly thunder beyond Hibiscus Pool.

……Round the golden-toad lock， incense is creeping；

The jade tiger tells， on its cord， of water being drawn

A great lady once， from behind a screen， favoured a poor youth；

A fairy queen brought a bridal mat once for the ease of a prince and then vanished.

……Must human hearts blossom in spring， like all other flowers？

And of even this bright flame of love， shall there be only ashes？
