冬歌
Language:

明朝驛使發，
一夜絮征袍。
素手抽鍼冷，
那堪把剪刀！
裁縫寄遠道，
幾日到臨洮？

Winter
Language:
English
The courier will depart on the morrow for the front.
All night she sews a soldier's jacket.
Her fingers, plying the needle, are numb with cold;
Scarce can she hold the icy scissors.
At last the work is done; she sends it a long, long way.
Oh, how many days before it reaches him in [Lin-tao?]1

the Chinese Empire for centuries.
