徐灿·《一剪梅·送春》

春光九十已全抛。

送也魂销，

留也魂销。

东君传语谢妖娆。

去也无聊，

往也无聊。

玉床香被展轻绡。

长也今宵，

短也今宵。

愁红休怕绿阴交，

早也明朝，

迟也明朝。

Yijian mei:

Seeing off Spring

Xu Can

Three months of spring radiance have all abandoned one:

Seeing it off consumes the soul;

Keeping it consumes the soul.

The Eastern Lord sends word to bid the enchanting adieu

Leaving makes one listless;

Staying makes one listless.

On the jade bed the perfumed quilt displays its light silk;

Tonight is long,

Tonight is short.

Sad flowers, fear not the green shadows twining with you

Tomorrow will be early,

Tomorrow will be late.
