Pinkish hands; yellowish wine.
Spring fills the garden within its polished walls
along which willow trees line.
Malicious east winds; brief joyful time.
A heart of melancholy; a few years of whine.
Pine! Pine! Pine!
Spring comes as ever; she appears thinner.
Tears run through her red chiffon handkerchief like a river.
Peach blossoms fall, descending across the pond and the chamber.
We keep our vows in mind while unable to send a letter.
Never! Never! Never!
