Yu Xuanji (844-869)

暮春即事 魚玄機 深巷窮門少侶儔， 阮郎唯有夢中留。 香飄羅綺誰家席？ 風送歌聲何處樓？ 街近鼓鼙喧曉睡， 庭閑鵲語亂春愁。 安能追逐人間事， 萬里身同不繫舟。

the late spring by Yu Xuanji lovers seldom come to this deep alley their spirits have to linger on in dreams whose fragrance of damask is this? from which tower does this breeze blow the song? sounds of drums in the street disturb my morning sleep magpies chirping in the courtyard confuse my spring sorrows how can I care for things of this world? ten thousand miles, my life, like a boat unmoored
