「山游示小妓」白居易

双鬟垂未合，三十才过半。本是绮罗人，今为山水伴。

春泉共挥弄，好树同攀玩。笑容共底迷，酒思风前乱。

红凝舞袖急，黛惨歌声缓。莫唱杨柳枝，无肠与君断。

GOING TO THE MOUNTAINS WITH A LITTLE DANCING GIRL, AGED FIFTEEN 

Written when the poet was about sixty-five 

Two top-knots not yet plaited into one. 

Of thirty years —  just beyond half. 

You who are really a lady of silks and satins 

Are now become my hill and stream companion ! 

At the spring fountains together we splash and play: 

On the lovely trees together we climb and sport. 

Her cheeks grow rosy, as she quickens her sleeve-dancing; 

Her brows grow sad, as she slows her song's tune. 

Don't go singing the Song of the Willow Branches. ' 

When there's no one here with a heart for you to break!

' A plaintive love-song, to which Po Chü-i had himself written words.
