Faded memories of Buddhas at Longmen Caves, Luoyang
On Hearing Someone Singing a Poem by Yuan Zhen
|
Bai Juyi 772-846
No new poems his brush will trace;
Even his fame is dead.
His old poems are deep in dust
At the bottom of boxes and cupboards.
Once lately, when someone was singing,
Suddently I heard a verse--
Before I had time to catch the words
A pain had stabbed my heart.

Bái Jūyì 772-846
Xīn shī juébǐ shēngmíng xiē,
Jiù juàn shēng chén qièsì shēn.
Shí xiàng gē zhōng wén yī jù,
Wèi róng qīngěr yǐ shāngxīn.
