It Has Already Turned Cool

Outside the green railing, embroidered curtains hang low;

a screen of scarlet depicts the branching of the dragon-tongue palm.

Upon eight-foot-long dragon-beard matting lies a brocade mattress—

the weather has turned cool, but the cold has not yet arrived.

已涼

碧闌干外繡一作「翠」簾垂,猩色一作「血」屏風畫折一作「柘」枝。

八尺龍鬚方錦褥,已涼天氣未寒時。
