Pure Melody (Clouds recall the robes, flowers recall the face)

Clouds recall her robes, flowers recall her face;

spring breeze caresses the railing, rich with dew's embrace.

If not upon the peaks of Mount Qunyù I met her,

then it must be beneath the moon, at Jade Terrace, that I encounter her.

清平調 (雲想衣裳花想容)

雲想衣裳花想容,春風拂檻露華濃。

若非羣玉山頭見,會向瑤臺月下逢。
