【宋】蘇軾
By SU Shi
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
Like ice, her skin so nice,
Clean of sweat, cool, fresh sheens her arm;
From the pool kiosk blows in a waft of balm.
The curtain drawn off,
A disc of bright moon does inside peep:
Is she now asleep?
Hairpin tilting, it's a loose charm.
He gets up to lead her hand fair
To stroll through the court calm.
Across the Milky Way a meteor flies.
How is the night, may I show care?
It's near daybreak, near dawn.
The moon does still glare,
The Dipper turns low there.
She counts on her fingers: when will west wind blow here?
But the year goes away when we are not aware.
