嫦娥 李商隱


嫦娥      李商隱(813-858)

雲母屏風燭影深,長河漸落曉星

嫦娥應悔偷靈藥,碧海青天夜夜心。

The Fairy in the Moon Chang’e      Li Shangyin (813-858)

On the mica screen the candlelight glimmers,
The Milky Way fades away as the morning stars turn dimmer,
Chang’e must be deeply chagrined at having stolen the elixir,
Deplorably she has to endure the solitude in the vast azure voidness night after night forever.
