A Spray of Plum: Red Lotus Fragrance Fades, Autumn on the Jade Mat
红藕香残玉簟秋。
轻解罗裳，
独上兰舟。
云中谁寄锦书来？
雁字回时，
月满西楼。
The red lotus has faded, its fragrance spent; the jade mat feels autumn's chill. I lightly loosen my silk robe and alone board the magnolia boat. Who will send a brocaded letter through the clouds? When the wild geese come back in their formation, the moon will fill the western tower.
花自飘零水自流。
一种相思，
两处闲愁。
此情无计可消除，
才下眉头，
却上心头。
Flowers drift and fall of themselves; the water flows on of itself. One single longing, two places' idle sorrow. This feeling no scheme can drive away: it has just left my brows when already it rises in my heart.
