南邻捣衣急。
思君隔九重，
And share profound griefs of those who roam. True indeed that my hobbies are few;
夜夜空伫立。
北窗轻幔垂，
Meanwhile, I have little business to do. If I cannot do well and win renown,
西户月光入。
何知白露下，
I shall retire and live a free man in town. While crickets chirp in autumn night,
坐视阶前湿。
谁能长分居？
My nextdoor neighbour pounds the cloth with might, As my dearest husband is far away,
秋尽冬复及。
Night by night at home alone I stay.
