...The long road ahead will be full of new hardship,
With, late in the nights, brief intervals of dream.
Oh, to send you this message, this pair of jade earrings! --
I watch a lonely wildgoose in three thousand miles of cloud.

七言律诗
李商隐
无题之四
凤尾香罗薄几重, 碧文圆顶夜深缝。
扇裁月魄羞难掩, 车走雷声语未通。
曾是寂寥金烬暗, 断无消息石榴红。
斑骓只系垂杨岸, 何处西南任好风?

Li Shangyin
TO ONE UNNAMED IV
A faint phoenix-tail gauze, fragrant and doubled,
Lines your green canopy, closed for the night....
Will your shy face peer round a moon-shaped fan,
And your voice be heard hushing the rattle of my carriage?
It is quiet and quiet where your gold lamp dies,
How far can a pomegranate-blossom whisper?
...I will tether my horse to a river willow
And wait for the will of the southwest wind.

七言律诗
李商隐
无题之五
重帷深下莫愁堂, 卧后清宵细细长。
神女生涯原是梦, 小姑居处本无郎。
风波不信菱枝弱, 月露谁教桂叶香。
直道相思了无益, 未妨惆怅是清狂。

Li Shangyin
TO ONE UNNAMED V
There are many curtains in your care-free house,
Where rapture lasts the whole night long.
...What are the lives of angels but dreams
If they take no lovers into their rooms?
...Storms are ravishing the nut-horns,
Moon- dew sweetening cinnamon-leaves
I know well enough naught can come of this union,
Yet how it serves to ease my heart!
