听筝-Listening to the Playing of the Zither
听筝
李端
鸣筝金粟柱,素手玉房前。
欲得周郎顾,时时误拂弦。
Listening to the Playing of the Zither
Li Duan
From golden-millet columns rings the zither sweet
When before the jade-bridge fair fingers and strings meet.
Anxious to win the praise of the man of her heart,
She at times makes mistakes in playing with a start.
