天霜河白夜星稀，一雁声嘶何处归？
早知半路应相失，不如从来本独飞。
Tiān shuāng hé bái yè xīng xī, yī yàn shēng sī hé chù guī?
Zǎo zhī bànlù yīng xiāng shī, bùrú cónglái běn dú fēi.
A frosty sky, silvery river, and sprinkling of stars.
The sound of a solitary wild goose. Where is it going?
If I had known that we will lose each other halfway,
it would have been better to fly alone.
