淡荷风，丝竹雨，河畔黄昏、独有青罗女。
素手盈盈槌纱缕，寂寥声声，谁解心衷曲？

浣纱白，纤影绿，行客痴看、不忍匆匆去。
欲问青罗何必寂，又恐唐突，不敢高声语。

Sonnet: Blue Girl

Red lotus flowered beside green bamboo.
Blowed the gentle breeze with the rain so slight.
On the bank of the river before the night,
the dusk just surrounded a blue girl through.
So pale her hands with the long skirts same blue.
Lonely washing bundles of cloths all in white,
with the hands deep in water, left and right.
Silent river flowed as her silence too.
Gazing at the river I stood far away.
Misty rain dropped in the sky as her tears,
for all lone people in this rainy day.
Although your tears dropped for one thousand years,
I prayed you to leave them at yesterday.
Forever trust, after winter,---- spring appears.
