徐燦·《御街行·燕京元夜》

華燈看罷移香屧。

正御陌、

游塵絕。

素裳粉袂玉為容，

人月都無(wú)分別。

丹樓云淡，

金門霜冷，

纖手摩挲怯。

三橋宛轉(zhuǎn)凌波躡。

斂翠黛、

低回說(shuō)。

年年長(zhǎng)向鳳城游，

曾望蕊珠宮闕。

茫茫咫尺，

眼前千里，

況是明年月。

The Lantern Festival in Beijing

Xu Can

Having watched the decorated lanterns, I move away on fragrant clogs.

Now on the imperial avenue

All roving dust is gone.

With white skirt, powdered sleeves and jade for a face,

There is no difference between lady and moon.

The clouds over the cinnabar tower look pale;

The frost on the golden gates turns cold

My delicate hands are afraid to touch them.

Along the Third Bridge I wind in light wave-traversing steps.

My kohl brows knit,

I say in a subdued voice:

“Year after year, may I always roam the Phoenix City,

Knowing that I’ve gazed upon those flower-beaded palaces.

But it’s vague and dim even at close hand,

A thousand miles just before the eyes

Let alone next year’s moon.”
