Poem: Southern Song by Li Qingzhao
A river of stars turns in the sky.
On earth, curtains are let down.
My pillow, my mat are cold and marked with tears.
Loosening my silk robe, I rise to ask the night of its passing.
The green stitching of the lotus pods is frayed and the leafy golds faded.
The weather is the same as before,my clothes the same.
Only I have changed.
(Her writing expresses melancholy concern over the passage of time)
