Cold winds, bitter rains - dream-making's in vain;

O My tangled thoughts were seeded by whom?

Gradually fading are once again

Scenes and things of yester-year home.

I do regret that the tender frowns,

Slow anger could no longer be found.


With you and I each at two ends of the Skies now,

How I envy the wild geese winging by the clouds!

While life is uncontrollable,

It can still be sentimental.

Faintly off the eaves, I hear,

The rain-drops till Dawn is here.


《虞美人‧寒夜》 一老年人

寒風苦雨難成夢，

亂緒因誰種？

昔年景物漸朦朧，

有憾嬌嗔輕怒已難逢。


而今身各天涯岸，

目羨雲邊雁。

人生無奈豈無情，

隱聽簷前涓滴到黎明。
