Yilin Verse

伯去我東,髮擾如蓬。寤寐長歎,展轉空床。內懷悵恨,摧我肝腸。

My lord has gone east from me; hair tangled like tumbling weeds. Waking or sleeping, I sigh long; tossing and turning on the empty bed. Within, I hold bitter grief; it breaks my very liver and bowels.

— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
