Full poem: Later the spring rain fell in Bianjing,
You were the only one who stopped in the rain.
After the phoenix tree was half dead and the frost cleared,
The white-headed mandarin duck flew away without its companion.
Later, it started to rain in spring in Bianjing, and you were the only one standing in the rain to admire it. The plane trees are there, and the mandarin ducks who promised to grow old together also go their separate ways. The sycamore tree in front of the window has withered and fallen leaves after experiencing the clear frost; and the white-headed mandarin duck that originally flew with two wings in the pond is now only a solitary one. It must have also experienced the pain of losing its companion!
