[Instrumental Intro - 12 bars] [Complete Original Text 1] 畢竟西湖六月中,風光不與四時同。 接天蓮葉無窮碧,映日荷花別樣紅。 [Developing Instrumental Transition - 8 bars] [Complete Original Text 2] 離別家鄉歲月多,近來人事半銷磨。 唯有門前鏡湖水,春風不改舊時波。 [Developing Instrumental Interlude - 16 bars] [Whole Original Suite Reprise - once] 畢竟西湖六月中,風光不與四時同。 接天蓮葉無窮碧,映日荷花別樣紅。 離別家鄉歲月多,近來人事半銷磨。 唯有門前鏡湖水,春風不改舊時波。 [Resolved Instrumental Outro - 12 bars]
