绵绵思远道。
远道不可思，
On and on linger the thoughts of a lass. Too far away, far beyond my sight,
夙昔梦见之。
梦见在我旁，
My man approached me in my dream last night. Now he seemed to sit by near at hand;
忽觉在他乡。
他乡各异县，
Now he seemed to stand in distant land. Although I followed him from place to place,
展转不可见。
枯桑知天风，
I could never meet him face to face. The withered mulberry understands the breeze;
海水知天寒。
人门各自媚，
The ocean water comprehends the freeze. When families unite in joy and glee,
谁肯相为言？
Who would care to speak a word with me?
