You suggest that we drink together at the Lute Stream.

The characters you wrote are in the centre of a foot of pure white silk,

They are like exquisite clouds dropped from Heaven.

Having finished reading, I smile at the empty air,

I feel as though my friend were before me

Reciting verses for a long time.

The characters are not faded. I shall keep them in my sleeve, and they should last three years.
