TUNE: SPRING IN JADE PAVILION

 

Since your departure, I know not how far you’ve gone.

With tearful eyes, how sad and dreary to be alone!

The farther you go away, the fewer your word;

No letter-bearing fish in water wide is heard.

At dead of night the bamboos beat Autumn’s refrain;

Leaf on leaf, sound on sound cry out my grief and pain.

I seek for you on dreaming pillow with deep sighs,

But no dream comes to me, the lamp flickers and dies.

玉楼春

别后不知君远近，

触目凄凉多少闷！

渐行渐远渐无书，

水阔鱼沉何处问？

夜深风竹敲秋韵，

万叶千声皆是恨。

故欹单枕梦中寻，

梦又不成灯又烬。
