Her promises to come were empty words, she's gone without a trace, The moon is slanting on the tower as I hear the fifth watch bell. In my dream we were far apart, I found it hard to call, Hurriedly I try to write, but find the ink too thin. The candle's radiance covers half the gold and emerald bed, A tiny hint of musky scent remains on embroidered lotus. Young Liu already regretted that Pengshan hill lay far away, We two are separated by ten thousand Pengshan hills. |
