徐燦·《浣溪沙·春閨》
金斗香生繞畫簾,
細風時拂兩眉尖。
繡床針線幾曾添。
數點落紅春寂寂,
一庭芳草雨纖纖。
不須春病也懨懨。

Spring Boudoir

Incense from the iron circles the painted curtain;
Now and then a breeze brushes my brow-tips.
When did the needlework on the embroidery frame progress?
A few fallen blossoms dot the lonely spring;
The courtyard’s lush grass bathes in the drizzle:
One needs no spring illness to be weary.
