这支小令描写画楼中一位女子的相思愁绪。她心事重重，难以排遣。读诗写词都只能更增添她的烦闷，秋天的萧条景象也引发起她的愁思万缕，就连天空飞过的大雁，在她眼里也摆成了愁字。小令写得情思缠绵，委婉动人。
《寿阳曲·四时至》 吴西逸
萦心事，
惹恨词。
更那堪动人秋思。
画楼边几声新雁儿，
不传书摆成个愁字。
Tune of Long-lived Sun
Four Seasons
Wu Xiyi
Grief heavy on my heart
Can't be written in word.
What can I do to keep autumn apart?
Beyond my painted bower is heard
The newcome wild geese's cry.
They bring no letter but write "loneliness" in the sky.
