中文原文﹕
明朝驛使發，
一夜絮征袍。
素手抽針冷，
那堪把剪刀！
裁縫寄遠道，
幾日到臨洮？
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
Tomorrow the messenger is set to depart,
Tonight I am sewing a padded battle cape in haste.
My hands are cold making needles hard to pull,
Let alone working a pair of scissors to a piece of garment tailor!
I intend to this stitchery over a long distance send,
Yet for it to reach Linyao, I wonder how many days it would take?
