Moon Fairy (嫦 蛾)

嫦 蛾 - 李商隱

Moon Fairy - Li Shang-yin

Under candlelight on a mosaic screen ,
Deep shadows were cast.
The Milky Way could be seen,
With the morning star subsiding last.
Stealing the immortal potion should have been
Something for Shang-Er to regret.
For there is nothing more she would fret
Than gazing at the blue sky and sea,
Each night with her heart getting more sad.
A screen decorated with in-sets of mother-of-pearls and stones.
