长信怨乐府

王昌龄

长信怨

奉帚平明金殿开， 且将团扇共徘徊。

玉颜不及寒鸦色， 犹带昭阳日影来。

Folk-song-styled-verse

Wang Changling

A SIGH IN THE COURT OF PERPETUAL FAITH

She brings a broom at dawn to the Golden Palace doorway

And dusts the hall from end to end with her round fan,

And, for all her jade-whiteness, she envies a crow

Whose cold wings are kindled in the Court of the Bright Sun.
