來匆匆。去匆匆。短夢無憑春又空。難隨郎馬蹤。
山重重。水重重。飛絮流云西复東。音書何處通﹖
Tune in Long-Time Lovesick
by Wang Zhuo of Song Dynasty
Come in a hurry, go in a hurry.
A brief dream without basis and spring’s empty again.
It’s difficult to follow the hoof-prints of my boy’s horse.
Hills after hills, water beyond water.
Flying catkins and flowing clouds go west, then east.
Where can my correspondence reach you?
