白居易·《后宫词》英译

泪湿罗巾梦不成，夜深前殿按歌声。

红颜未老恩先断，斜倚熏笼坐到明。

A Court Lady in Disfavor

Bai Juyi

Silk kerchief wet with tears, she cannot sleep in dream;

Late from front hall, with beats of drums songs flow like streams.

No longer favored though she is still young at age,

Till dawn she leans against the incense burner’s cage.
