春思 皇甫冉

春思     皇甫冉 (714-767)
鶯啼燕語報新年，馬邑龍堆路幾千。
家住層城臨漢苑，心隨明月到胡天。
機中錦字論長恨，樓上花枝笑獨眠。
為問元戎竇車騎，何時返旆勒燕然。

Spring Longings        Huangfu Ran (714-767)

Twittering orioles and swallows herald New Year’s arrival,,

To Ma Yi and Long Dui on the borders there are still a few thousand miles,
In the Storied City near the Imperial Gardens I dwell,
Following the bright moon to the barbarian purlieu my heart travels,
The characters knitted in the brocade explicate a lonely boudoir’s lasting sorrows,
My sleeping in solitude is chaffed even by the overhanging blows,
Oh, General Dou, great marshal,
When will you return triumphant with your great feat phenomenal.
