Pale grass blends with clouds far and nigh,
连云衰草，
The setting sun reddens the sky;
连天晚照，
Red leaves cover the mountains high.
连山红叶。
The western breeze
西风正摇落，
Strips off the trees;
更前溪呜咽。
The creek once more
燕去鸿归音信绝，
Sobs as before.
问黄花，
Swallows and wild geese bring no news to me.
又共谁折？
With whom may I enjoy chrysanthemums in glee?
征人最愁处，
What grieves most those who roam?
送寒衣时节。
No winter garments come from home.
