To the tune of "Happy Event Is Nigh"The wind ceases; fallen flowers pile high.
Outside my screen, petals collect in heaps of red
and snow-white.This reminds me that after the blooming
of the cherry-apple tree
It is time to lament the dying spring.Singing and drinking have come to an end;
jade cups are empty;
Lamps are flickering.Hardly able to bear the sorrows and regrets
of my dreams,
I hear the mournful cry of the cuckoo.
