《和新及第悼亡詩二首·其一》 魚玄機
仙籍人間不久留,片時已過十經(jīng)秋。
鴛鴦帳下香猶暖,鸚鵡籠中語未休。
朝露綴花如臉恨,晚風(fēng)敧柳似眉愁。
彩云一去無消息,潘岳多情欲白頭。
Replying to a Poem by a New Graduate Lamenting the Loss of His Wife
Yu Hsuan-chi
Immortals don't stay long in the world of men;
You've passed another fall, already ten.
Pairs of ducks on a curtain, beneath, her fragrance lingers;
In the parrot's cage her words are not yet stilled.
Morning dew pastes the flowers in a sad face;
Evening wind bends the willows like dropping eyebrows.
Colored clouds come once, then go away;
P'an Yueh, wistful, is going gray.
