樂府
李白
玉階怨
玉階生白露, 夜久侵羅襪。
卻下水晶簾, 玲瓏望秋月。
Folk-song-styled-verse
Li Bai
A SIGH FROM A STAIRCASE OF JADE
Her jade-white staircase is cold with dew;
Her silk soles are wet, she lingered there so long….
Behind her closed casement, why is she still waiting,
Watching through its crystal pane the glow of the autumn moon?
