"Comforting the Hibiscus on the Pond after the Rain" is a seven-character quatrain written by Xu Ben, a poet in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
雨后慰池上芙蓉[1]
[明]徐贲
池上新晴偶[2]得过，
芙蓉寂寞照寒波。
相看莫厌秋情薄，
若在春风怨更多。
注释：
[1]芙蓉：荷花。
[2]偶：偶然，偶遇。
To Lotus Blooms after Rain
Xu Fen[1]
When it turns fine after rain I pass by the pool;
The lonely lotus blooms on cold waves are annoyed.
Do not say autumn looks indifferent and cool.
What if in vernal breeze your beauty’s not enjoyed?
注释：
[1]Xu Fen died in prison.
