燕草如碧丝， 秦桑低绿枝。 当君怀归日， 是妾断肠时。 春风不相识， 何事入罗帏？

A fű kibujik kedvesen és úgy ragyog, mint zöld selyem. Nyil az eperfa, kedvesem, s fáj, hogy nem gondolsz rám te sem. Lásd, az, akit nem ismerek, a szél, bejön szobámba és hozzám beszél.
Note: several catalogs of Horusitzky's work and many sources of Kosztolányi's poetry (including anthologies of his work) erroneously indicate that this is a translation of a poem by Tu Fu.
