泪湿罗巾梦不成,
夜深前殿按歌声。
红颜未老恩先断,
斜倚薰笼坐到明。

WORDS FROM A BACK PALACE CONCUBINE
Tears shed on the gauze , but no realization of noble dreams ,
Deep nights hear singing in the main palace.
She has been out of king ‘s favor although her roses do not leave ,
And stay awake till daybreak by her incense-burner place.
