唐诗三百首英译 李商隐：无题之一

七言律诗

李商隐

无题之一

来是空言去绝踪， 月斜楼上五更钟。

梦为远别啼难唤， 书被催成墨未浓。

蜡照半笼金翡翠， 麝熏微度绣芙蓉。

刘郎已恨蓬山远， 更隔蓬山一万重。

Seven-character-regular-verse

Li Shangyin

TO ONE UNNAMED I

You said you would come， but you did not， and you left me with no other trace

Than the moonlight on your tower at the fifth-watch bell.

I cry for you forever gone， I cannot waken yet，

I try to read your hurried note， I find the ink too pale.

……Blue burns your candle in its kingfisher-feather lantern

And a sweet breath steals from your hibiscus-broidered curtain.

But far beyond my reach is the Enchanted Mountain，

And you are on the other side， ten thousand peaks away.
