How much regret,
In a dream last night?
I wandered back to my hunting lodge,
as in the past:
The chariots ran on like a stream
And the horses galloped like flying dragons.
The blossoms, the moonlight and teh gentle wind
were the joy of spring.
How many tears
On my face and cheeks?
I should not tell the secret in my heart,
Nor should you play the phoenix flute
while our eyes are still wet.
For that would be too much to endure.
(Li Yu)
