Long yearning <br />In Chang'an <br />Web woof autumn call gold well railing <br />Coalesce frost freezing bamboo mat look cold <br />Lonely lamp not bright think almost cut <br />Roll curtain gaze moon vain long sigh <br />Beautiful person like flower separate cloud end <br />Above be black night () high heaven <br />Below be green water () billow <br />Heaven long road far spirit fly bitter <br />Dream spirit not arrive pass mountain difficult <br />Long yearning <br />Break heart <br />Long yearning, <br />To be in Chang'an. <br />The grasshoppers weave their autumn song by the golden railing of the well; <br />Frost coalesces on my bamboo mat, changing its colour with cold. <br />My lonely lamp is not bright, I'd like to end these thoughts; <br />I roll back the hanging, gaze at the moon, and long sigh in vain. <br />The beautiful person's like a flower beyond the edge of the clouds. <br />Above is the black night of heaven's height; <br />Below is the green water billowing on. <br />The sky is long, the road is far, bitter flies my spirit; <br />The spirit I dream can't get through, the mountain pass is hard. <br />Long yearning, <br />Breaks my heart.<br /><br />Li Bai<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-yearning-2/
