噩耗破雲來﹐The sad news comes like thundering down from clouds
筆驚幾墮埃。My pen almost drops on the ground in startling
連霄天泣雨﹐Heaven weeps with rains for evenings at a stretch
竟日風呻哀。The wind wails for the loss all day long
仙棹歸玄海﹐The fairy boat carries you to the other world
真元返鶴臺。Your soul returns to the celestial Stork Terrace
吊憑悲玉隕﹐I mourn deeply for your early demise
太上亦傷懷。Even an optimist will grieve
