無題(二) 李商隱

無題(二)      李商隱 (813-858)

相見時難別亦難，東風無力百花殘。
春蠶到死絲方盡，蠟炬成灰淚始乾。
曉鏡但愁雲鬢改，夜吟應覺月光寒。
蓬萊此去無多路，青鳥殷勤為探看。

Untitled (2)           Li Shangyin  (813-858)

Difficult it is for us to meet, yet it’s even more difficult to sunder,
So impotent is the east wind that all flowers have withered,
The silk-worm stops spinning only when it expires,
The candle turns into ashes before it stops shedding tears,
My hair turns grievously white in the morning as reveals the mirror,
I feel chills of the night while intoning poems the moon under,
No way I can reach you now in Penglai,
Only by sending green birds to look in on you obligingly can I be assured.
