TUNE: SONG OF POUNDING CLOTHES

Regularly the bettle sounds

As on the anvil stone it pounds.

After washing her warrior’s dress,

With ink and tears she writes down his address.

The package goes a thousand miles to the Jade Pass,

But the warrior is stationed farther west, alas!

搗練子

砧面瑩，

杵聲齊，

搗就征衣淚墨題。

寄到玉關應萬里，

戍人猶在玉關西。
