Bai Juyi, 772 - 846, of Tang dynasty, one of the most important realistic poet in Chinese history.

The Song of Everlasting Sorrow (Selected Translation)

Vouchsafed a bath in Pure Flower Pool, by chill early spring,
in the sleekness of hot spring, she immersed her creamy skin.
Attended afterwards though, her feebleness tenderly showed,
it's when, gracious favors upon her, the Emperor bestowed.

This is my attempt in translating classic Chinese poetry. Any critical comments will be helpful.
