唐詩三百首英譯 李商隱：瑤池

七言絕句

李商隱

瑤池

瑤池阿母綺窗開， 黃竹歌聲動地哀。

八駿日行三萬裡， 穆王何事不重來。

THE JADE POOL

The Mother of Heaven， in her window by the Jade Pool，

Hears The Yellow Bamboo Song shaking the whole earth.

Where is Emperor Mu， with his eight horses running

Ten thousand miles a day？ Why has he never come back？
