On a Moonlight Night Far off in Fu-chou she is watching the moonlights, Watching it alone from the window of her chamber -- For our boy and girl, poor little babes, Are too young to know where the Capital is. Her cloudy hair is sweet with mist, Her jade-white shoulder is cold in the moon. ... When shall we lie again, with no more tears, Watching this bright light on our screen?

A Spring View Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure; And spring comes green again to trees and grasses Where petals have been shed like tears And lonely birds have sung their grief. ... After the war-fires of three months, One message from home is worth a ton of gold. ... I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin To hold the hairpins any more.

Ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples, Heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine.
