Butterflies
卷739_56 【蝶】李建勋 <http://www.guoxue.com/qts/authers/qzz_1472.htm>
粉蝶翩翩若有期,
南园长是到春归。
闲依柳带参差起,
困傍桃花独自飞。
潜被燕惊还散乱,
偶因人逐入帘帏。
晚来欲雨东风急,
回看池塘影渐稀。
I have it inscribed on an ancient painting of butterflies, with slight
changes as follows:
粉蝶翩翩若有期,
南园长是到春归。
闲依芳草参差起
困恋残花宛转飞。
潜被燕惊还散乱,
偶因人逐入帘帏
晚来欲雨东风急,
回看池塘影渐稀。
乙巳春日写于读书处之南窗
绿筠女史朱璘
