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？

The intruder
Language: English after the Chinese (中文)
The grass of Yen is growing green and long While in Chin the leafy mulberry branches hang low. Even now when my longing heart is breaking, Are you thinking, my dear, of coming back to me? O wind of spring, you are a stranger, Why do you enter through the silken curtains of my bower?
