贈闕下裴舍人
二月黃鸝飛上林， 春城紫禁曉陰陰。
長樂鐘聲花外盡， 龍池柳色雨中深。
陽和不散窮途恨， 霄漢長懷捧日心。
獻賦十年猶未遇， 羞將白髮對華簪。

TO MY FRIEND AT THE CAPITAL SECRETARY PEI
Finches flash yellow through the Imperial Grove
Of the Forbidden City, pale with spring dawn;
Flowers muffle a bell in the Palace of Bliss
And rain has deepened the Dragon Lake willows;
But spring is no help to a man bewildered,
Who would be like a cloud upholding the Light of Heaven,
Yet whose poems, ten years refused, are shaming
These white hairs held by the petalled pin.
