Yellow cloud wall beside crow near roost br Return fly caw caw branch on call br Machine in weave brocade Qin river girl br Green yarn like mist separate window speech br Stop shuttle disappointed recall far person br Alone stay lone room tear like rain br Yellow clouds beside the walls; crows roosting near. br Flying back, they caw, caw; calling in the boughs. br In the loom she weaves brocade, the Qin river girl. br Made of emerald yarn like mist, the window hides her words. br She stops the shuttle, sorrowful, and thinks of the distant man. br She stays alone in the lonely room, her tears just like the rain.
