A Song of the Palace
后宫词
Bai Juyi
Her tears are spent, but no dreams come.
She can hear the others singing through the night.
She has lost his love. Alone with her beauty,
She leans till dawn on her incense-pillow.
2) Palace Plaint
Tr. Xu Yuan-zhong
Her kerchief soak'd with tears, she cannot fall asleep,
When songs and beats of drums waft though the night is deep.
Her rosy face outlasts the favor of the king,
She leans on her perfumed bed till morning birds sing.
