I bumped into Plum Belle, a courtesan, in the capital and we had a drink, venting our hardship. She could still sing the two tunes: Unforgetable and the Town Road. She asked me to note down our encounter. When I finished the verse, I copied it on a handkerchief.
Orioles, trees, mist, dike!The little green fruit vie, they'd be red, rosebud-like.
Her slender fingers play with the spring fair,O'er her cheeks flows her hair.The fairy I can't manage to keep,To the south twigs, my dream does me there sweep.At her, my tears drip down to flush,My face covered, a blush, daring not to talk, a hush.A Chu State tune, a sad sad song,A-lingering there, o'erthere hung, a cloud flying along.Many times, soft words I would say.To the moon o'er blooms I've said good bye,But I can't forget, the shade would to me tie.What stirs my heart the most,Even if night does fall, it wouldn't go at all.译者简介：
