鱼玄机·《闺怨》英译

蘼芜盈手泣斜晖，闻道邻家夫婿归。

别日南鸿才北去，今朝北雁又南飞。

春来秋去相思在，秋去春来信息稀。

扃闭朱门人不到，砧声何事透罗帏。

Bedroom Lament

Yu Xuanji

Fragrant grass fills her hands

as she weeps in the setting sun;

she heard that the neighbor’s man

has just come back from the front.

Swans of the south

had only gone north

just the other day;

now northern geese

are flying south

on this morning, today.

Though spring comes

and autumn goes,

her feelings for him remain;

as autumn goes

and spring comes,

news from him is scarce.

The doors are closed

at this noble house;

no one ever comes:

What has made desolation

pierce the silken drapes?

（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
