Li Shangyin (Tang Dynasty)
To meet is hard, to part is hard as well; the east wind weak, all blooms in ruin dwell.
The silkworm spins till death its thread is done; the candle weeps till ash its tears are run.
At dawn I fear my hair may turn to grey; at night I feel the moonlight's chilly ray.
To Penglai Hill there is no distant way; let the blue bird go to her, I pray.
