贈內人 張祜

贈內人     張祜 (785-849)
禁門宮樹月痕過，

媚眼惟看宿鷺巢。
斜拔玉釵燈影畔，

剔開紅焰救飛蛾。

To an Imperial Academy Courtesan        
Zhang Hu (785-849)

A chink of moonlight from the break of dense foliage shines through,

The roosting herons in their nests are the only scene her ravishing dainty eyes behold,
When she reclines by the lamp her jade hairpin off she pulls,
Picking at the candle flame she tries to save the fire swooping moth.
