白发 - 白居易

雪髮隨梳落。
霜毛繞鬢垂。
加添老氣味。
改變舊容儀。
不肯長如漆。
無過總作絲。
最憎明鏡里。
黑白半頭時。

Combed hair falls snow white
frosted-fuzz circles my sideburns
topped with a stale old odor:
how my looks have changed.
Hair refusing to grow dark
at least it continues to grow.
I despise looking into a sharp mirror
and seeing a head half-black half-white.
