We did not live long with ease on Peach Blossom Stream;
桃溪不作从容住?
The severed lotus root can’t be united again.
秋藕绝来无续处。
I waited for you on the bridge with red railings then;
当时相候赤栏桥，
Today I seek alone, mid yellow leaves our dream.
今日独寻黄叶路。
The countless mist-veiled peaks have dyed the sky in blue;
烟中列岫青无数，
Twilight is reddened by sunset borne by wild geese.
雁背夕阳红欲暮。
You’re like the cloud sunk in the river by the breeze;
人如风后入江云，
My heart like willow down wet with rain clings to you.
情似雨余粘地絮。
