Rhyme Scheme: A BA CA DE AFA AG AH I JEK| To the tune of quot Intoxicated Under the Shadow of Flowers quot | A |
| - | |
| Light mists and heavy clouds | B |
| melancholy the long dreary day | A |
| - | |
| In the golden censer | C |
| the burning incense is dying away | A |
| - | |
| It is again time | D |
| for the lovely Double Ninth Festival | E |

| - | |
| After drinking wine at twilight | A |
| under the chrysanthemum hedge | G |
| - | |
| My sleeves are perfumed | A |
| by the fragrance of the plants | H |
| - | |
| Oh I cannot say it is not endearing | I |
| - | |
| Only when the west wind stirs the curtain | J |
| I see that I am more gracile | E |
| than the yellow flowers | K |
