為有 There Is Only One

李商隱 Li Shangyin

为 有 云 屏 无 限 娇 ，
There is only one Carved-Cloud, exquisite always-
wèi yǒu yún píng wú xiàn jiāo ，
凤 城 寒 尽 怕 春 宵 。
Yet she dreads the spring, blowing cold in the palace,
fèng chéng hán jǐn pà chūn xiāo 。
无 端 嫁 得 金 龟 婿 ，
When her husband, a Knight of the Golden Tortoise,
wú duān jià dé jīn guī xù ，
辜 负 香 衾 事 早 朝 。
Will leave her sweet bed, to be early at court.
gū fù xiāng qīn shì zǎo cháo 。
