蝶恋花·笑艳秋莲生绿浦
笑艳秋莲生绿浦。
红脸青腰，
旧识凌波女。
照影弄妆娇欲语。
西风岂是繁花主。
Smiling and radiant, the autumn lotus rises from the green shore: red face and slender waist — long known of old, the nymph who walks upon the waves. Catching her image, she makes her toilet, coy as if about to speak. The west wind — how should it be the lord of flowers in their fullness?
可恨良辰天不与。
才过斜阳，
又是黄昏雨。
朝落暮开空自许。
竟无人解知心苦。
I hate the fair season that heaven will not grant: scarce past the slanting sun and already the rain of dusk. Fading at dawn, opening at dusk, she plights herself in vain; in the end none can read the bitterness of her heart.
