TUNE: RIVERSIDE DAFFODILS

 

The thunder faints away beyond the willows green;

The raindrops drip from lotus leaves after the shower.

A quivering rainbow is seen,

Shut out of view by Western Tower.

We lean on rails alone

To watch the rising moon.

A pair of swallows fly back to the painted eave;

Through fallen curtain they peep and perceive

The wavy mat still spread cold on the bed

As if none had slept in,

But by the crystal pillows twin

There is left a hairpin.

临江仙

柳外轻霜池上雨，

雨声滴碎荷声。

小楼西角断虹明。

栏杆私倚处，

待得月华生。

燕子飞来窥画栋，

玉钩垂下帘旌。

凉波不动簟纹平。

水晶双枕畔，

傍有堕钗横。
