李商隐·《宿晋昌亭闻惊禽》英译

羁绪鳏鳏夜景侵，高窗不掩见惊禽。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

飞来曲渚烟方合，过尽南塘树更深。

胡马嘶和榆塞笛，楚猿吟杂橘村砧。

失群挂木知何限，远隔天涯共此心。

Hearing a Startled Bird During Stayover at Chin-Ch’ang Pavilion

Li Shang-yin

Wayworn: wide sleepless yes. A night scene enters.

A high open window reveals a startled bird.

It flies to the meandering shore: smoke closes in.

It passes the South Pond: trees darken their depth.

Tartar horses neigh to the flutes of the Elm Pass.

Southland monkeys’ howl mixes with the pound-and-wash.

Stray bird up on the tree: does it know its end?

Separated by sky’s edge: we share this moment this heart.
