雙語 ●手捻紅箋寄人書

TUNE: DELAYING SPRING’S DEPARTURE

By painted screen vaguely I dream

Of clouds and waves in the celestial stream.

Awake, I take rosy paper in hand

And send a letter to the fairyland.

Could I write on one leaf

My boundless vernal grief?

I’ve leaned on rails at random in the Farewell Tower

In face of Southern Riverside so far and wide.

The stream divides before our bower.

When shall I see the tears

We shed in bygone years?

留春令

畫屏天畔，

夢回依約，

十洲云水。

手捻紅箋寄人書，

寫無限傷春事。

別浦高樓曾漫倚，

對江南千里。

樓下分流水聲中，

有當日憑高淚。
