Pure of heart and therefore hungry，

All night long you have sung in vain.

Oh， this final broken indrawn breath

Among the green indifferent① trees！

Yes， I have gone like a piece of driftwood②，

I have let my garden fill with weeds.

I bless③ you for your true advice

To live a life as pure as yours.

李商隐

本以高难饱，

徒劳恨费声。

五更疏欲断，

一树碧无情。

薄宦梗犹泛，

故园芜已平。

烦君最相警，

我亦举家清。
