Pink Hands so fine ,

Gold branded wine ,

Spring paints the willows green

palace walls can't confine.

East wind unfair ,

Happy times rare.

In my heart sad thoughts throng ;

We've severed for years long.

Wrong , wrong , wrong !
Spring is as green

In vain she's lean ,

Her kerchief soaked with tears

and red with strains unclean.

Peach blossoms fall

Near deserted hall .

Our oath is still there. Lo !

No word to her can go.

No , no , no !


Explaination: The 2 sections were written by author Lu You and his wife Tang Wan on the same wall at different date, regarded as an cothurnus classic of Chinese love poem.
