3 魚玄機 寄國香 The Fragrance of Orchids
旦夕醉吟身。
相思又此春(何處申)。
雨中寄書使。
窗下斷腸人。
山捲珠簾看。
愁隨芳草新。
別來清宴上。
幾度落梁塵。

The body that aches with longing is drunk at dusk and again at dawn
these wild mutual yearnings return to us each spring
there in the rain goes a messenger bearing a passionate letter
under the open window stands one with a broken heart
up in the mountains a lover rolls up a pearl screen, looking out
sadness comes back and comes back as fragrant and lush as the grass
and we're all walking home in the dark from banquets and celebrations
or watching the quiet dust that sifts down from our roofbeams.
