《憶仙姿·江上潮回風細》 賀鑄
江上潮回風細,
紅袖倚樓凝睇。
天際認歸舟,
但見平林如薺。
迢遞,
迢遞,
人更遠于天際。
Fairy Beauty Recalled
He Zhu
The tide on the stream flows
When a gentle breeze blows.
A rosy-sleeved lady leaning on the rails
On the horizon fixes her gaze.
To find out the returning sails,
But only see the distant forest in the haze.
So far away,
So far away!
Why should her lord beyond the horizon stay?
