《女冠子·昨夜夜半》 韋莊

四月十七，
正是去年今日，
別君時。
忍淚佯低面，
含羞半斂眉。

不知魂已斷，
空有夢相隨。
除卻天邊月，
沒人知。

Song of a Lady's Crown
Wei Zhuang

'Twas the 17th day of the 4th moon,
It is today, just a year ago.
At parting, I stooped low on pretence.
I mustn't be seen with tears aflow.

Abashed, I half-puckered up my brows.
Unaware: I was stricken, aswoon.
I was to follow you in my dream:
Who knows such but the horizon moon?
