Sorrow of A Young Bride

           By Wang Changling

Nothing in her boudoir brings sorrow to the bride;

She mounts the tower, gaily dressed, on a spring day.

Suddenly seeing willows green by the roadside,

How she regrets her lord seeking fame far away!

From 100 Tang and Song Quatrain Masterpieces by Great Poets

闺怨

    王昌龄

闺中少妇不知愁，

春日凝妆上翠楼。

忽见陌头杨柳色，

悔教夫婿觅封侯。
