王采薇·《山中作》
夜松何濛濛，月小飞不起。
知有抱瑟人，垂光碧簾底。
露气明曲巌，花光照虚夜。
一片白云声，飞泉隔烟泻。
Written in the Mountains
Wang Ts’ai-Wei
How blurred and misty are the pines in the evening!
The moon is too small to take off.
I know someone is holding the zither;
Moonlight falls at the bottom of a green curtain.
Dewy air brightens the curving precipice,
The flowers’ radiance glows in the empty night.
Everywhere are the sounds of white clouds;
The splashing waterfall tumbles down behind a veil of mist.
（Pao Chia-lin 译）
