减 字 木 兰 花
枕 书 睡 熟
珍 事 月 明 相 伴 宿。
宝 鸭 金 寒
香 满 围 屏 宛 转 山。
鸡 人 声 杳
瑶 井 玉 绳 相 对 晓。
黯 淡 窗 纱
却 下 风 帘 护 烛 花。
Jian Zi Lu Lan Hua
Zhen shu shui shu
Zhen shi yue ming xiang ban su.
Bao ya jin han
Xiang man wei ping wan zhuan shan.
Ji ren sheng yao
Yao jing yu sheng xiang dui xiao.
An dan chuang sha
Que xia feng lian hu zhu hua.
Pillows and Reading Books: Diminished Tree Peony Flowers and Buds
Pillows and reading books cultivate falling asleep
Treasured moonlight is a night-long partner.
Valuable golden duck incense holder in the cold
Enclosed by the mellow fragrances and decorative screens painted with mountains and their passes.
Night-watch water clock sounds fade away
By dawn, the once visible stars disappear into the light.
Gloomy thin gauze window screens
Curtains protect the candlelight from late-arriving winds.
