Chinese poems and poetic lyrics mentioning Gan'en Duo

《闻歌妓唱严郎中诗因以绝句寄之》
作者:白居易(唐)

已留旧政布中和,又付新词与艳歌。 
但是人家有遗爱,就中苏小感恩多。

《留别马使君》
作者:李群玉(唐)
by Li Qunyu (Tang Dynasty, 808-862)

俱来海上叹烟波,君佩银鱼我触罗。
蜀国才微甘放荡,专城年少岂蹉跎。
应怜旅梦千重思,共怆离心一曲歌。
唯有管弦知客意,分明吹出感恩多。


*   *   *   *   *   *   *   *   *

《赠妓行云等感恩多词》(句)

离魂何处断?烟雨江南岸。

Notes:

按:路侍中岩,风貌之美,为世所闻。镇成都日,委执政于孔目吏边咸,以官妓行云等十人侍宴。移镇渚宫日,于合江亭离筵,赠行云等《感恩多》词。有「离魂」云云。至今播于倡楼也。

两条红粉泪,多少香闺意。
彊攀桃李枝,敛愁眉。

陌上莺啼蝶舞,柳花飞。
柳花飞,愿得郎心,忆家还早归。

《感恩多 其二》
作者:牛峤(唐末)

自从南浦别,愁见丁香结。 
近来情转深,忆鸳衾。 

几度将书托烟雁,泪盈襟。 
泪盈襟,礼月求天,愿君知我心。
