A SPRING SONG

Tang Poem 300: #281

A SPRING SONG
Liu Yuxi

With new makeup on her fair face
She steps down
The red chamber.

But the spring light is still locked
In the deep garden
That gives her much sorrow.

She slowly walks
To the center court
To count the flowers.

A dragonfly flying,
And rests
On her jade hairpin.

劉禹錫
春詞

新妝宜面下朱樓,
深鎖春光一院愁。
行到中庭數花朵,
蜻蜓飛上玉搔頭。
