Untitled(1) to the tune of Green Jade Flute
碧玉箫·无题(一)
I fear to see the departure of spring,
怕见春归,
Willow catkins flying from the boughs that swing.
枝上柳锦飞。
Silently I close the door of my fragrant bower,
静掩香闺,
outside the curtain songs of morning orioles come in shower.
帘外晓莺啼。
How annoyed I am, hearing nothing from you at the end of earth.
恨天涯锦字稀,
Last night I dreamt of you under my quilt with green girth.
梦才郎翠被知。
Loose now is my clothes below,
宽衣尽,
Because my loins thinner grow.
一搦腰肢细;
Love as deeply as I may,
痴,
I pine away with each passing day.
暗暗的添憔悴。
