徐燦·《憶秦娥·春感次素庵》
春時節(jié),
昨朝似雨今朝雪。
今朝雪,
半春香暖,
竟成拋撇。
銷魂不待君先說,
悽悽似痛還如咽。
還如咽,
舊恩新寵,
曉云流月。

Spring Sentiments, Following Su’an’s [Chen Zhilin] Rhymes
Xu Can
In the season of spring:
Yesterday it looked like rain, but today it snowed.
Today it snowed;
Half a spring of fragrant warmth
Has been cast away.
The wasting of my heart needs no word from you;
Miserable it is, like a pang, and a whimper.
Like a whimper:
Old love, new favor,
Are but dawn clouds and flowing moon.
