別來春半    觸目柔腸斷    砌下落梅如雪亂    拂了一身還滿

雁來音信無憑    路遙歸夢難成    離恨恰如春草    更行更遠還生

Tune:  Serene Music    Li Yu(937-978)                 江紹倫譯

Spring is half gone since we parted
My heart breaks where’er it tries to park
Mume blossoms fall like scattering snow
They cling on me though I brushed them off minutes ago

The geese came bringing no message from you
Home is too far even in a dream
Parting griefs are like grass in spring
They thrive however far I walk trying to leave them behind
