徐燦·《蝶戀花》
蝶不戀花花戀蝶。
棄綠憐紅,
不是他心劣。
一種深情情獨切,
無情只愛同心結。
幾縷春冰吹漸裂。
謝得東風,
肯送歸舟葉。
日夜隨郎從未別,
何須去共吳門月。
Die lian hua
Xu Can
The butterfly does not love the flowers, though the flowers love the butterfly;
It leaves the green for the red,
But not because its heart is cruel.
There is a deep feeling that runs uniquely keen;
It loves nothing but for kindred hearts to be tied.
A few lines of spring ice gradually crack in the breeze;
I must thank the east wind,
For consenting to dispatch the homing boat.
Day and night I have followed you, never once parted;
Did you have to leave for the Suzhou moon?
