徐燦·《臨江仙·閨情》
不識(shí)秋來(lái)鏡里,
個(gè)中時(shí)見(jiàn)啼妝。
碧波清露殢紅香。
蓮心休結(jié),
多半是空房。
低閣垂楊罷舞,
窺簾歸燕成行。
夢(mèng)魂曾到水云鄉(xiāng)。
細(xì)風(fēng)將雨,
一夜冷銀塘。

Boudoir Feelings
Xu Yan
I did not know autumn had entered the mirror;
How often it shows my tearful rouge!
Green ripples and clear dew have vexed the red fragrance;
The lotus hearts are shy to bear fruit
Over half are empty pods.
Bending low by the room, the hanging willows have stopped swaying;
Through the curtain, I see homing wild geese formed in line.
In dream my soul has traveled to the misty land.
Here, light breeze and rain
Chill the silvery pond through the night.
