A traveller came from far away, and brought me a bolt of fine silk.

Ten thousand li lie between us, and yet your heart is still the same.

Its pattern is a pair of mandarin ducks; I cut it into a coverlet of joy.

Filled with longing that never ends, bound with a knot that cannot be undone.

Glue poured into lacquer—who could part the two of them?
