TUNE: TREADING ON GRASS
AT AN INN OF CHENZHOU
Bowers are lost in mist;
Ferry dimmed in moonlight.
Peach Blossom Land idealis beyond the sight.
Shut up in lonely inn, can I bear the cold spring?
I hear at lengthening sunset homebound cuckoos sing.
 
Mume blossoms sent by friends
And letters brought by post,
Nostalgic thoughts uncounted assail me oft in host.
The lonely river flows around the lonely hill,
Why should it southward flow, leaving me sad and ill?

梅（学名：Armeniaca mume Sieb.），蔷薇科杏属植物。[1]

梅的鲜花可提取香精，果实可食，或熏制成乌梅成药，有止咳、止泻、生津、止渴之效。梅又能抗根线虫危害，可作核果类果树的砧木。原产中国南方，已有三千多年的栽培历史，无论作观赏或果树均有许多品种。梅花是中国十大名花之首，与兰花、竹子、菊花一起列为“四君子”，与松、竹并称为“岁寒三友”。

雾失楼台，月迷津渡，桃源望断无寻处。
