What does Yue Lao Love Poem No. 11 say in English?
I cut banana leaves myself to copy the sutras; / no golden lotus steps mark the courtyard now. / Clear wind and bright moon, I remember you still; / jade flutes and red strings, would you care to listen? / So often ill, I can hardly bear my thinner robes; / last night's makeup lingers as the wine wears off. / A whole year apart, and what has come of it? / I lie and watch the Herdboy and Weaver stars.
