In the exquisite Jade Pavilion, wind sings and rain chants; for a brief moment, all is still. Tonight, the skies have cleared.
Moonlight spills over the pear tree, illuminating exquisite jade. Pear blossoms streaked with tears carry their feelings for a thousand miles.
The passionate wanderer beyond the pass should return soon. This brocade sachet, fragrant and fine, should carry the same scent as his beloved.
Hidden deep in her chambers, the beauty's room glows red night after night with candles and silken drapes. In this world, love's wounds are never fully healed.
She lifts her eyes, full of charm, and gazes through the hall. When will the wanderer marry his lovely bride?
The debts of love must sometimes be paid for a life of indulgence.
Walk slowly; life is short, and the road is long.
