Chang'e

李商隐Tang dynastyseven-character quatrain
SOURCE TEXT · 中文原文
云母屏风烛影深,
长河渐落晓星沈。
嫦娥应悔偷灵药,
碧海青天夜夜心。
English translation

Chang'e

On the mica screen the candle's shadow deepens;
the River of Heaven sinks lower, the dawn star goes down.
Chang'e must regret having stolen the elixir—
green sea, blue sky, and night after night that heart.
