- to the right side from the image: Painted with devotion at Hangao (Hankou) by Master Fayi (the author's art name) from Jiangxi province.
Body: to the left side of the image: Of ten thousand (implies “countless†or “endlessâ€) spring sorrows, which day will see them cease? Without a cause, parting's regret defies the wine's release.
At (my/someone's) dressing table, (I/someone) languidly leave (my/someone's) uncombed hair of deepest lore, and play (my/someone's) silver flute without an art, as random thoughts (I/someone) pour.
- to the right side from the image: The wind rings (my/someone's) pendant jade with a crystalline peal, where oft in Nanlou (home/buildings in the South) (my/someone's) long sorrow I feel.
The garden is drowned in the spring’s delight, (I/someone) will leave (my/someone's) hair unbound, (my/someone's) glass aside.
