In the palace covered by weeds under the setting sun, where is your destination? The great rivers and mountains of the motherland are no different from before, but the people have become subjects of foreign rule. The reed flowers all over the ground are getting old like me, the people are displaced, and the country is perishing. Now I have to leave this familiar old place. From now on, there is no hope of returning south. Let my soul return after my death!
