Touched Strings Poem by Luo Zhihai

抚琴

焚香净手琴弦抚
顺绪含情玉柱弹
倚俪精神随韵定
矜能意态促音欢
莺啼春水涓涓汇
君迈卿楼楚楚观
奏曲芳心泓窈窕
笙箫扇月偃高寒


Touched Strings

She burnt incense
washed her hands
touched strings
She played jade columns
with her own feeling

her strange and beautiful spirit
confirmed by rhymes
her mood boasting of her own talent
urged the music happily

Orioles cried
the trickling spring water was pooling
You went upstairs
clear saw
in the tower of beauty

Played music
her fragrant heart was quiet and beautiful
Reed-pipe wind instrument
moon on the fan
was cold highly
