The balustrade
楼阴缺，
Of eastern bower casts its shade
阑干影卧东厢月。
In moonlight. In moonlight
东厢月，
The sky with breeze and dew is bright,
一天风露，
And apricot blossoms snow-white.
杏花如雪。
The sobbing golden dragon hastens the water clock
隔烟催漏金虬咽，
To drip beside the burner’s smoke.
罗帏暗淡灯花结。
The silken curtain dim, candle flame forms a flower.
灯花结，
Candle flame forms a flower, a spring dream in an hour
片时春梦，
Of southern riverside
江南天阔。
And a sky far and wide.
