《和新及第悼亡诗二首·其一》 鱼玄机
仙籍人间不久留,片时已过十经秋。
鸳鸯帐下香犹暖,鹦鹉笼中语未休。
朝露缀花如脸恨,晚风敧柳似眉愁。
彩云一去无消息,潘岳多情欲白头。
Replying to a Poem by a New Graduate Lamenting the Loss of His Wife
Yu Hsuan-chi
Immortals don't stay long in the world of men;
You've passed another fall, already ten.
Pairs of ducks on a curtain, beneath, her fragrance lingers;
In the parrot's cage her words are not yet stilled.
Morning dew pastes the flowers in a sad face;
Evening wind bends the willows like dropping eyebrows.
Colored clouds come once, then go away;
P'an Yueh, wistful, is going gray.
