徐灿·《浣溪沙·春闺》

金斗香生绕画帘，

细风时拂两眉尖。

绣床针线几曾添。

数点落红春寂寂，

一庭芳草雨纤纤。

不须春病也恹恹。

Huan xi sha:

Spring Boudoir

Xu Can

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.
