The freezing wind chills me
through my vestments, but I
can't summon the effort even
to light the incense.

The scar marks my

Alone and melancholy, my

The tower stands in the

Lonely as a shade, I lie in an

Behind the mist-shrouded
mountains, he too pines for
me; but reunion is only a
distant hope.

On the great road, the

All that remained was to
return here to Nanjing, and
search for Xiangjun.

Already I have reached the

Only a warbler heralds my

How lonely these quarters

Melancholy, I look out from
