《臨江仙》
麴櫱鹽梅無舊譜,塵來未皺芳流。
簾前欲去影先留。
緣愁都不守,只道別家秋。
閬苑蓬萊身已遠,青驄且繫書樓。
別期未至不題愁。
炭冰摧過後,吟捻憶君眸。
To the tune of Linjiangxian
Ferment and malt, salt and plum: no old recipe; dust comes, but has not rippled the fragrant stream.
Before the curtain, about to leave, the shadow stays first.
I hold neither ties nor sorrow, speak only of your autumn.
Far now from Langyuan and Penglai, tether the blue-grey horse awhile beside the study.
The time for parting has not come; do not write sorrow yet.
After charcoal and ice have torn through, I murmur verse, twist a whisker, remember your eyes.
