Spring at Wuling: Late Spring
风住尘香花已尽，
日晚倦梳头。
物是人非事事休，
欲语泪先流。
The wind has stopped, the dust is fragrant, the flowers are all gone; the day is late, and I am too weary to comb my hair. Things remain, the person is gone—all is over with everything; before I can speak, the tears flow first.
闻说双溪春尚好，
也拟泛轻舟。
只恐双溪舴艋舟，
载不动许多愁。
I hear that spring at Shuangxi is still lovely, and I too had thought to float a light boat. I only fear the little boat at Shuangxi cannot carry so much sorrow.
Reading notes
舴艋, read zé měng, means a small boat. The ending imagines sorrow as a weight too great for it to carry.
