Both of us young and happy-hearted.

And would not turn to your thousand calls;
As we watch against the sunset on the sandy plain,
And the bones of soldiers from You and from Bing

And now, in the Eighth-month, yellowing butterflies
But how much love has the inch-long grass

On Mirror Lake outspread for miles and miles,
Who toss and sigh and cannot rest.
How can she hold the scissors tight?

We lived near together on a lane in Chang-kan,
蝉鸣空桑林， 八月萧关道；
Once were proud on all mens tongues.
What troubling wave can arrive to vex
秋风吹不尽， 总是玉关情。
