Yilin Verse

桑林月下空等候,影踏碎花不見人。露濕衣袖寒入骨,歸去腰帶又寬寸。

Under moonlight in the mulberry grove, waiting in vain. Shadows tread on scattered blossoms — no one comes. Dew soaks the sleeves, cold seeps to the bone — returning home, the belt is another inch too loose.

— Jiao Yanshou (焦延壽), Yilin (焦氏易林), 1st century BCE
