TUNE: PARTRIDGE IN THE SKY

All things have changed; once more I pass the city gate.

We came together; I go back without my mate.

Bitten by hoary frost, half of the plane tree dies.

Lifelong companion lost, one lonely lovebird flies.

Grass wet with dew

Dries on the plain;

How can I leave our old abode and her grave new!

In a half-empty bed I hear the pelting rain.

Who will turn up the wick and mend my coat again?

鹧鸪天

重过阊门万事非，

同来何事不同归？

梧桐半死清霜后，

头白鸳鸯失伴飞。

原上草，

露初唏，

旧栖新垅两依依。

空床卧听南窗雨，

谁复挑灯夜补衣？
