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?
