行香子(南宋·李清照)
天与秋光，转转情伤，探金英知近重阳。薄衣初试，绿蚁新尝，渐一番风，一番雨，一番凉。黄昏院落，凄凄惶惶，酒醒时往事愁肠。那堪永夜，明月空床。闻砧声捣，蛩声细，漏声长，漏声长。天与秋光，转转情伤，探金英知近重阳。薄衣初试，绿蚁新尝，渐一番风，一番雨，一番凉。黄昏院落，凄凄惶惶，酒醒时往事愁肠。那堪永夜，明月空床。闻砧声捣，蛩声细，漏声长，漏声长。蛩声细，漏声长，漏声长。

Tune: "On the Trail of Sweet Incense".
Golden chrysanthemums just in bloom
Tell of the approach of the Double Ninth Festival.
A bounteous gift from Heaven these autumnal tints,
Which however bring sadness in their train
As circumstances change.
I try on my thin dress, taste new-brewed wine,
Aware that I am in for
A spell of wind,
A spell of rain,
A spell of cold.
Yellowing twilight fills my rooms
With gloom and anxiety.
Memories of heart-rending sorrow
Overwhelm me as I sober up from wine.
An unending night,
A full moon flooding an empty bed.
In my ears the dull thud
Of mallets on the washing-blocks,
The feeble chirp of crickets,
The monotonous dripping of the clepsydra.
