碧雲天,黃葉地。秋色連波,波上寒煙翠。山映斜陽天接水。芳草無情,更在斜陽外。 黯鄉魂,追旅思。夜夜除非,好夢留人睡。明月樓高休獨倚。酒入愁腸,化作相思淚。
Poem in Tune of Sumozhe
by Fan Zhongyan of Song Dynasty
The blue cloudy sky, the yellow-leaf-covered ground.
The color of autumn linked with waves;
Cold mists over the waves look green.
Mountains reflect the slanting sunshine; the water reaches the sky.
The emotionless fragrant grass
Looks as if beyond the slanting sun.
The nostalgic soul depressed; reminiscent of traveling;
Only at each night
Sweet dream invites me to sleep.
Don’t lean alone on the high tower under the bright moon.
Wine into the plaintive bowels
Turns to the tears of lovesickness.
