“Something to Think About” is a five-character poem written by Liu Hui, a poet of the Southern Dynasties. It depicts the lingering thoughts of a young woman in the boudoir in detail.
《有所思》是南朝诗人刘绘创作的一首五言诗。细致刻画了一少妇缠绵的闺思。
刘绘·《有所思》
别离安可再，而我更重之。
佳人不相见，明月空在帏。
共衔满堂酌，独敛向隅眉。
中心乱如雪，宁知有所思？
Lonely Thoughts
Liu Hui
A single separation is enough,
And that for me has made my life so tough.
So as I cannot see my bosom friend,
Alone I watch the brilliant moon ascend.
When joy abounds within the banquet hall,
I knit my brows alone and face the wall.
Although my heart is stirred like drifting snow,
Who knows what brings about my thoughts of woe?
