徐灿·《蝶恋花》
蝶不恋花花恋蝶。
弃绿怜红，
不是他心劣。
一种深情情独切，
无情只爱同心结。
几缕春冰吹渐裂。
谢得东风，
肯送归舟叶。
日夜随郎从未别，
何须去共吴门月。
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?
