Laijon Liu (06/27/1975 / Dalian, China)

Years gone by, my prime disappeared,
Now sorrow comes, and my gray hair grows.
This morning I looked into the mirror,
And seeing the person I’ve never met.


(By Li Si Zong of Tang Dynasty
Translated by Laijon Liu 20090107)


览 镜
李 嗣 宗

岁 去 红 颜 尽 ，
愁 来 白 发 新 。
今 朝 开 镜 匣 ，
疑 是 别 逢 人 。
