趙善慶·《水仙子·渡瓜州》

渚蓮花脫錦衣收，

風蓼青雕紅穗秋。

堤柳綠滅長條瘦，

系行人來去愁，

別離情今古悠悠。

南徐城下，

西津渡口，

北固山頭。

Withering are lotus flowers and their beauty by the river islet,

Fading is knotweed in wind and its ears redden the autumn tint.

Willow tints of green are fading and twigs slender,

Mingled with the sorrow of the heart-broken traveler,

A tearful parting from the lover is haunting forever.
