上官婉儿·《游长宁公主流杯池·其一》英译

策杖临霞岫，危步下霜蹊。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

志逐深山静，途随曲涧迷。

渐觉心神逸，俄看云雾低。

莫怪人题树，只为赏幽栖。

Visiting Princess Changning's Pool-for-Setting-Winecups-Afloat 

Shangguan Wan’er

Propped on my staff, I looked over wispy peaks,

Then with hazardous pace descended frosty trails.

My goals grew serene the deeper I went in the hills,

I strayed on the path that bent with the mountain stream.

Slowly I sensed detachment in my soul,

And noticed at once how fogs were sinking low.

Be not dismayed I wrote upon that tree

It was because I cherished this hidden rest.
