劉惠鳴 (男) /李淑勤 (女) - 帝女花之香夭

詩白：
女：倚殿陰森奇樹雙
男：明珠萬顆映花黃
女：如此斷腸花燭夜
男：不須侍女伴身旁下去

女：落花滿天蔽月光　借一杯附薦鳳台上
帝女花帶淚上香　願喪生回謝爹娘
偷偷看　偷偷望　佢帶淚帶淚暗悲傷
我半帶驚惶　怕駙馬惜鸞鳳配
不甘殉愛伴我臨泉壤
男：寸心盼望能同合葬　鴛鴦侶相偎傍
泉台上再設新房
地府陰司裡再覓那平陽門巷
女：唉惜花者甘殉葬
花燭夜難為駙馬飲砒霜
男：江山悲災劫　感先帝恩千丈
與妻雙雙叩問帝安
女：唉盼得花燭共諧白髮
誰個願看花燭翻血浪
唉我誤君累你同埋蒘網
好應盡禮揖花燭深深拜
再合巹交杯墓穴作新房
待千秋歌讚註駙馬在靈牌上
男：將柳蔭當做芙蓉帳　明朝駙馬看新娘
夜半挑燈有心作窺妝
女：地老天荒情鳳永配癡凰
願與夫婿共拜相交杯舉案
男：遞過金杯慢咽輕嘗
將砒霜帶淚放落葡萄上
女：合歡與君醉夢鄉
男：碰杯共到夜台上
女：唉百花冠替代殮裝
男：駙馬珈墳墓收藏
女：相擁抱
男：相偎傍
合：雙枝有樹透露帝女香
男：帝女花
女：長伴有心郎
合：夫妻死去樹也同模樣
