错误
我打江南走过
那等在季节里的容颜如莲花的开落
东风不来，三月的柳絮不飞
你底①心如小小的寂寞的城
恰若青石的街道向晚
跫音②不响，三月的春帷不揭
你底心是小小的窗扉紧掩
我达达的马蹄是美丽的错误
我不是归人，是个过客…… [4] 
词句注释
①底：通“的”，多见用于民国时期。
②跫（qióng）音：脚步声。

Mistake
I passed through the South of Yangzi
The face waiting at the turn of seasons, like a lotus flower, blooms and wilts
Without the east wind, the willow catkins in March do not flutter
Your heart is like the lonesome little town
Like its streets of cobblestones near nightfall
When footfalls are silent and the bed curtains of March not unveiled
Your heart is a little window tightly shut
My clattering hooves are beautiful mistakes
I am not a homecoming man but a passing traveler …
