七言絕句 溫庭筠 瑤瑟怨

冰簟銀床夢不成, 碧天如水夜雲輕。
雁聲遠過瀟湘去, 十二樓中月自明。

Wen Tingyun SHE SIGHS ON HER JADE LUTE

A cool-matted silvery bed; but no dreams....
An evening sky as green as water, shadowed with tender clouds;
But far off over the southern rivers the calling of a wildgoose,
And here a twelve-story building, lonely under the moon.
