望海樓晚景五首(其四) 蘇軾

望海樓晚景五首(其四)      蘇軾 (1037-1101)

樓下誰家燒夜香，玉笙哀怨弄初涼。

臨風有客吟秋扇，拜月無人見晚妝。

Night Scene on the River Tower (Poem No. 4)       

Su Shi (1037-1101)

Who’s burning incense beneath the tower?

The early chills are imbued with the disturbing ululant pipes in the vesper,
Amidst the autumnal gale someone is concocting on a fan  with the throes of a verse composer,
But her face remains a mystery to the nearby moon worshippers.
