月下砧聲
淡月傾雲寂四隣
猶鳴砧杵一何頻
聲々誰識多々思
應是寒衣寄遠人
A pale moon sinks into the clouds
And it is lonely here,
Despite the sound of the fulling block.
Who would know that I think of him with every stroke?
These chilly clothes I have to send to him so far away. (HK)

This poem fits a tradition of Tang-poetry. In these poems women think of their men who are fighting aggressive barbarians on the borders in the cold North-West.
