The verse
萬里長空一雁飛欲求同侶悵無依勸君且就蘆洲宿等待秋風振翼儀
In English
Across the vast sky, one wild goose flies.Seeking companions, it grieves with no one to rely on.I urge you to lodge for now by the reed island.Wait for the autumn wind to lift your wings.
Textual notes
侶 means companion; an older note says the character may have been mistaken. CHANCE notes that partnership, marriage, and job changes are not timely now; wait for the right affinity.
