陆游·《山茶一树自冬至清明后著花不已》
东园三日雨兼风，桃李飘零扫地空。
惟有山茶偏耐久，绿丛又放数枝红。
A Tree of Camellia Incessantly Effloresces in Winter and Posteriorly to the Clear and Bright Day
Lu You
The elements raged for three consecutive days,
Consequently, the florets of peach and prunus salicina all drift away with the trees denuded of arrays.
The tiny camellia alone lasts long with durability,
Amid the green clumps forth burst afresh several rubicund sprays.
