Afraid to go back to her empty room.

Has chilled the robe she wi九_九_藏_書ll not change --

And she touches a silver lute all night,

借問漢宮誰得似， 可憐飛燕倚新妝。

渭城曲

渭城朝雨邑輕塵， 客舍青青柳色新。

The palaces of China have never known such beauty-

Covet not a gold-threaded robe,

王昌齡

Lighten for ever the Emperors eye,

Is either the tip of earths Jade Mountain

Wang Wei

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

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

She brings a broom at dawn to the Golden Palace doorway

Or a moon- edged roof of paradise.

Where a yellow river climbs to the white clouds,

That spring never blows to him through the Jade Pass

金縷衣

And a mist, through the heart, from the magical Hill of Wu- -

West of Yang Gate therell be no old friends.

As he listens to the sighing of the far spring wind

但使龍城飛將在， 不教胡馬渡陰山。

Wait till we empty one more cup --

勸君更盡一杯酒， 西出陽關無故人。

A SONG AT 九_九_藏_書WEICHENG

黃河遠上白雲間， 一片孤城萬仞山。

王之渙

一枝紅艷露凝香， 雲雨巫山枉斷腸。

雲想衣裳花想容， 春風拂檻露華濃。

Not even Flying Swallow with all her glittering garments.

Where she leans on a railing in the Aloe Pavilion.

勸君莫惜金縷衣， 勸君惜取少年時。

王維

Li Bai

Near the one city-wall among ten-thousand-foot mountains,

羌笛何須怨楊柳， 春風不度玉門關。

Her balcony, glimmering with the bright spring dew,

That never a Tartar horseman might cross the Yin Mountains!

And the road our troops are travelling goes back three hundred miles....

Wang Changling

Lest you but wait for an empty bough.

Li Bai

桂魄初生秋露微， 輕羅已薄未更衣。

花開堪折直須折， 莫待無花空折枝。

Her robe is a cloud, her face a flower;
