For Her Husband

This poem is included in: Three Hundred Tang Poems
为有云屏无限娇
凤城寒尽怕春宵
Behind the cloud-screen, her beauty is infinite;
When cold ends in the capital, she dreads spring night.
无端嫁得金龟婿
辜负香衾事早朝
Why should she be wed to a lord of golden seal?
Leaving her fragrant bed, he goes to court at dawn.
为有云屏无限娇

无端嫁得金龟婿
辜负香衾事早朝
Why should she be wed to a lord of golden seal?
Leaving her fragrant bed, he goes to court at dawn.
