阮郎归·旧香残粉似当初
旧香残粉似当初。
人情恨不如。
一春犹有数行书。
秋来书更疏。
The old perfume and the faded powder are as they were of old; only a person's heart is less kind than then. In spring there were still a few lines of a letter; since autumn, letters have grown fewer still.
衾凤冷，
枕鸳孤。
愁肠待酒舒。
梦魂纵有也成虚。
那堪和梦无。
The phoenix quilt is cold; the mandarin-duck pillow is lone. My grieving heart waits for wine to ease it. Even if dreams came, they too would prove empty — how much worse, when there are no dreams at all.
