《彩書怨》 上官婉兒

葉下洞庭初，思君萬里余。
露濃香被冷，月落錦屏虛。
欲奏江南曲，貪封薊北書。
書中無別意，惟悵久離居。

Reproach in a Letter on Colored Paper
Shangguan Wan'er

When first leaves fall on Lake Dongting,
I long for you, thousands of miles away.
In heavy dew my scented quilt feels cold,
At moonset, brocade screen deserted.
I would play a Southland melody
And crave to seal a letter to Jibei(1).
The letter has no other message but
This misery in living long apart.

1. Jibei, in the far northeastern corner of China, represents a region of frontier warfare, thus suggesting a woman writing to her husband away in the army.
