白日沦西阿，
Mulberry trees by the Yangtze River grow,
素月出东岭。
Which people planted there three years ago.
遥遥万里晖，
At the time when twigs and boughs would sprout,
荡荡空中景。
It happened that a serious flood broke out.
风来人房户，
The twigs and leaves were torn from the tree
夜中枕席冷。
While roots and trunks were floating on the sea.
