Original Poem

飒飒东风细雨来,芙蓉塘外有轻雷。

金蟾啮锁烧香入,玉虎牵丝汲井回。

贾氏窥帘韩掾少,宓妃留枕魏王才。

春心莫共花争发,一寸相思一寸灰!

English translation

English Meaning

Rustling, the east wind brings fine rain; beyond the lotus pond, soft thunder. Through the golden toad's lock, incense smoke enters; the jade tiger draws water, silk rope in hand. Jia's daughter peeked through the curtain at young Han Shou; the goddess Zhen left her pillow for the Prince of Wei. Let the heart's spring not bloom with the flowers: one inch of longing, one inch of ash!

About the Poem

One of Li Shangyin's 'Untitled' love poems. Locked doors and drawn well-water figure the difficulty of love; the allusions to longing maidens end in the famous line — each inch of desire burns down to an inch of ash.
