Tang Dynasty: Li Shangyin
It was a long time ago that I met her, but since we separated, the time has become longer, the east wind is blowing and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Silkworms in spring will weave until they die, and candles will drain the wick every night.
In the morning, she saw her hair cloud changing in the mirror, but she bravely faced the cold of the moonlight with her evening song.
There are not many roads to Pengshan. Oh, Bluebird, listen! -Give me what she said! .
Translation:
It's rare to have a chance to meet each other, but I can't bear to part with each other. In addition, the weather in late spring, the east wind is coming, which makes people even more sad.
Spring silkworms don't spit all their silk until they die, and tears are exhausted every night.
When a woman dresses up in front of a mirror in the morning, she is only worried that the plump bangs will change color and the youthful appearance will disappear. When a man can't sleep at night, he will inevitably feel that Leng Yue has invaded people.
The other person's residence is not far from Penglai Mountain, but there is no road to cross, just out of my reach. I hope an angel like the bluebird will visit my lover and deliver a message for me.
