春宫怨-A Palace Maid’s Lament in Spring
春宫怨
杜荀鹤
早被婵娟误，欲妆临镜慵。
承恩不在貌，教妾若为容？
风暖鸟声碎，日高花影重。
年年越溪女，相忆采芙蓉。
A Palace Maid’s Lament in Spring
Du Xunhe
Long have I troubled myself with my own beauty；
To improve my looks at a glass I’ve got lazy.
If fairness can’t help me to court royal favour，
To dress myself up will be a fruitless labour！
In the warm breeze， birds’ singing in broken notes fades；
Under the tall sun overlap the floral shades.
The maidens that come to the Yue stream every year，
While picking Fu-rong， will still miss me their mate dear.
