蘼芜叶复齐。
水溢芙蓉沼，
The sweet herbs grow profuse and lush alike. The lotus blossoms in the lake and pond;
花飞桃李蹊。
采桑秦氏女，
The peach and plum blooms drop on paths beyond. Qin's maid picked mulberries to earn a life;
织锦窦家妻。
关山别荡子，
Weaving on the loom was Dou Tao's wife. When their men went to frontiers far away,
风月守空闺。
恒敛千金笑，
They stayed at home alone from day to day. There’s never been a smile upon my face;
长垂双玉啼。
盘龙随镜隐，
Instead, floods of tears have left their trace. The dragon mirror is kept in the case;
彩凤逐帷低。
飞魂同夜鹊，
The phoenix curtain hangs low in its place. Ill at ease like magpies in their flight,
倦寝忆晨鸡。
I sleep late, awakened by cocks at night.
