忽见陌头杨柳色, 悔教夫婿觅封侯。

Wang Changling
IN HER QUIET WINDOW
Too young to have learned what sorrow means,
Attired for spring, she climbs to her high chamber....
The new green of the street-willows is wounding her heart --
Just for a title she sent him to war.

春宫曲
昨夜风开露井桃, 未央前殿月轮高。
平阳歌舞新承宠, 帘外春寒赐锦袍。

A SONG OF THE SPRING PALACE
Last night, while a gust blew peach-petals open
And the moon shone high on the Palace Beyond Time,
The Emperor gave Pingyang, for her dancing,
Brocades against the cold spring-wind.

凉州词
葡萄美酒夜光杯, 欲饮琵琶马上催。
醉卧沙场君莫笑, 古来征战几人回。

A SONG OF LIANGZHOU
They sing, they drain their cups of jade,
They strum on horseback their guitars.
...Why laugh when they fall asleep drunk on the sand ? --
How many soldiers ever come home?

送孟浩然之广陵
故人西辞黄鹤楼, 烟花三月下扬州。
孤帆远影碧空尽, 惟见长江天际流。

A FAREWELL TO MENG HAORAN
ON HIS WAY TO YANGZHOU
You have left me behind, old friend, at the Yellow Crane Terrace,
On your way to visit Yangzhou in the misty month of flowers;
Your sail, a single shadow, becomes one with the blue sky,
Till now I see only the river, on its way to heaven.

七言绝句
李白
下江陵
朝辞白帝彩云间, 千里江陵一日还。
两岸猿声啼不住, 轻舟已过万重山。

Li Bai
THROUGH THE YANGZI GORGES
From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,
Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me
