To the Tune

Breeze soft, sun frail, spring still early.

In a new lined dress my heart was refreshed,

But when I rose from sleep I felt a chill.

I put plum blossoms in my hair.

Now they are withered.

Where is my homeland?

I forgot it only when drunk.

The sandal wood incense burned out while I slept.

Now the perfume has gone,

But the wine has not gone.
