郎士元·《听邻家吹笙》

风吹声如隔彩霞，不知墙外是谁家。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

重门深锁无寻处，疑有碧桃千树花。

Listening to the Playing of Sheng from a Neighbour’s Home

Lang Shiyuan

The playing of sheng sounds like phoenix singing from the sky,

I don’t know the name of the player whose house is near by.

Trying to find out in vain who he’s because his gate’s locked,

Whether I’m among the Chinese goddess peach flowers I doubt.
