《風入松》

丘亭欲雪已凝霜,依舊頑陽。 斜暉落甓猶難去,然金爐、待子宵長。 千里行來至此,雁丘今可成堂。 舊山橫影亂爐光,燼處餘香。 筆枯化紙容人念,料經年、應易遷忘。 芍藥更添紅雨,玉筋暗觸龍章。

To the tune of Fengrusong

At the hill pavilion, snow is about to fall; frost has already formed, yet the stubborn sun remains. Slanting light falls on the bricks and still will not depart; the golden brazier is lit, waiting for you through the long night. A thousand li travelled to this point; Wild Goose Mound may now become a hall. The old mountain’s crossing shadow disturbs the brazier light; among the embers, fragrance remains. The brush runs dry; paper is given to the flames, yet still holds a person’s thoughts. I suppose that, with the years, forgetting should come easily. The peony adds still more red rain; jade sinew secretly touches dragon splendour.
