On a winter night, the cold makes me feel how long the night is; I sit deep in thought for a long while in the northern hall.
The ice seals the wellspring, and moonlight enters the inner chamber; the golden lamp glows blue-green, illuminating my sorrowful tears.
With the heavenly eye, one sees through all; the golden lamp is extinguished, and the weeping grows more intense.
With the heavenly ear, I cover my tears and listen to your song.
Wei Xu moves the heavenly eye; the song has sound, and I have feelings.
With the heavenly ear, Wei Xu moves; emotion and sound unite, with neither violating the other.
If a single word does not enter my heart, then let your myriad songs send the dust from the roof beams flying.

The abuse of military force and exhaustion of the armies have come to this; how could one ride the flying dragon from Dinghu?
