含君千里光。
巷中情思满,
The bright moon also shines o'er my dear spouse. My deep love for you saturates the lane,
断绝孤妾肠。
悲风荡帷帐,
Overwhelming me with throbbing pain. Through the curtains sorrowful winds blow;
瑶翠坐自伤。
妾心依天末,
I sit alone and taste the bitterness of woe. My heart is linked with you far, far away,
思与浮云长。
啸歌视秋草,
My thought goes to you with the cloud today. When I look at the autumn grass, I sigh:
幽叶岂再扬?
暮兰不待岁,
Can the withered grass again grow high? As orchids will not live until next year,
离华能几芳?
愿作张女引,
Can fallen flowers blossom far and near? I’d like to play the music at your call,
流悲绕君堂。
君堂严且秘,
So that my sorrow will permeate your hall. However, your hall is so profound
绝调徒飞扬。
That my sad music cannot echo round.
