五言律詩 杜甫 月夜

今夜鄜州月, 閨中只獨看。
遙憐小兒女, 未解憶長安。
香霧雲鬟濕, 清輝玉臂寒。
何時倚虛幌, 雙照淚痕乾。

Du Fu ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT

Far off in Fuzhou she is watching the moonlight,
Watching it alone from the window of her chamber -
For our boy and girl, poor little babes,
Are too young to know where the Capital is.
Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist,
Her jade-white shoulder is cold in the moon.
...When shall we lie again, with no more tears,
Watching this bright light on our screen?
