Appreciation of poems

The solitary bird chirps, the worm chirps again. Feel this heart at a loss, caress Ying Long Taixi. Look at my bed and pillow, wandering can't sleep. Burn the ointment, shine the light, and take care of the shadow.

I'll manage my suitcase, and Lang will buy a boat on the river. Lang boat has not yet been sent, full of my heart sorrow. The river flows from east to west. If the river does not flow back, the wind will not blow. Lang is the head of the river, and I am the head of the river. When the wind blows in the morning, the trees mourn; when the wind blows in the evening, the trees mourn again. If the leaves wander, my heart wanders.
