詩詞正文
北斗橫天夜欲闌，愁人倚月思無端。
忽聞畫閣秦箏逸，知是鄰家趙女彈。
曲成虛憶青蛾斂，調急遙憐玉指寒。
銀鎖重關聽未辟，不如眠去夢中看。

My Neighbor
Herbert A. Giles譯
When the Bear athwart was lying
And the night was just on dying,
And the moon wasn’t yet gone
How my thoughts did ramble on!
Then a sound of music breaks
From a lute that some one wakes,
And I know that it is she,
The sweet maid next door to me.
And as the strains steal o’er me
Her moth-eyebrows rise before me.
And I feel a gentle thrill
That her fingers must be chill.
But doors and locks between us
So effectually screen us
That I hasten from the fancy free
And in dreamland pray to see.
