长相思（之一）
李白
长相思， 在长安。
络纬秋啼金井阑， 微霜凄凄簟色寒。
孤灯不明思欲绝， 卷帷望月空长叹。
美人如花隔云端， 上有青冥之长天，
下有渌水之波澜。
天长路远魂飞苦， 梦魂不到关山难。
长相思， 摧心肝。
endless yearning i
li bai
"i am endlessly yearning
to be in changan.

...insects hum of autumn by the gold brim of the well;
a thin frost glistens like little mirrors on my cold mat;
the high lantern flickers; and. deeper grows my longing.
i lift the shade and, with many a sigh, gaze upon the moon,
single as a flower, centred from the clouds.
above, i see the blueness and deepness of sky.
below, i see the greenness and the restlessness of water....
heaven is high, earth wide; bitter between them flies my sorrow.
can i dream through the gateway, over the mountain?
endless longing
breaks my heart."
