初知蓮波是讀她以詩經體譯的Scarborough Fair，不禁由衷佩服這位網中奇女子的才氣，更感嘆她一去不返，不能更多領略她的文采。這首綠袖唱起來竟是合韻合拍。
《綠袖》　　　　Greensleeve

　　我思斷腸，伊人不臧。　　Alas my love, you do me wrong
　　棄我遠去，抑鬱難當。　　To cast me off discourteously
　　我心相屬，日久月長。　　I have loved you all so long
　　與卿相依，地老天荒。　　Delighting in your company

　　綠袖招兮，我心歡朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　綠袖飄兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　綠袖搖兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　綠袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　我即相偎，柔荑纖香。　　I have been ready at your hand
　　我自相許，捨身何妨。　　To grant whatever you would crave
　　欲求永年，此生歸償。　　I have both waged life and land
　　回首歡愛，四顧茫茫。　　Your love and good will for to have

　　綠袖招兮，我心歡朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　綠袖飄兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　綠袖搖兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　綠袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　伊人隔塵，我亦無望。　　Thou couldst desire no earthly thing
　　彼端箜篌，漸疏漸響。　　But still thou hadst it readily
　　人既永絕，心自飄霜。　　Thy music still to play and sing
　　斥歡斥愛，綠袖無常。　　And yet thou wouldst not love me

　　綠袖招兮，我心歡朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　綠袖飄兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　綠袖搖兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　綠袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves

　　綠袖去矣，付與流觴。　　Greensleeves now farewell adieu
　　我燃心香，寄語上蒼。　　God I pray to prosper thee
　　我心猶熾，不滅不傷。　　For I am still thy lover true
　　佇立壠間，待伊歸鄉。　　Come once again and love me

　　綠袖招兮，我心歡朗。　　Greensleeves was all my joy
　　綠袖飄兮，我心痴狂。　　Greensleeves was my delight
　　綠袖搖兮，我心流光。　　Greensleeves was my heart of gold
　　綠袖永兮，非我新娘。　　And who but my Lady Greensleeves
