الاستماع إلى آلة الزنغ (李端) / Listening to the Zheng (Li Duan)

The zither sings from pillars decked with golden grain,

A pale hand plays before the jade-walled windowpane.

Hoping to catch the Captain Zhou's admiring glance,

She oft will sweep the strings and miss the note by chance.

聽箏 (李端)

鳴箏金粟柱,素手玉房前。

欲得周郎顧,時時誤拂弦。
