李白

　　长相思之一

　　长相思， 在长安。

　　络纬秋啼金井阑， 微霜凄凄簟色寒。

　　孤灯不明思欲绝， 卷帷望月空长叹。

　　美人如花隔云端， 上有青冥之长天，

　　下有渌水之波澜。

　　天长路远魂飞苦， 梦魂不到关山难。

　　长相思， 摧心肝。

　　ENDLESS YEARNING I

　　"I am endlessly yearning

　　To be in Changan.

　　……Insects hum of autumn by the gold brim of the well；

　　A thin frost glistens like little mirrors on my cold mat；

　　The high lantern flickers； and. deeper grows my longing.

　　I lift the shade and, with many a sigh, gaze upon the moon,

　　Single as a flower, centred from the clouds.

　　Above, I see the blueness and deepness of sky.

　　Below, I see the greenness and the restlessness of water……

　　Heaven is high, earth wide； bitter between them flies my sorrow.

　　Can I dream through the gateway, over the mountain？

　　Endless longing

　　Breaks my heart."
