第 1 句因包含“化工”，据此推断可能引用了典故：化工
波斯短歌行译笺 其十四 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押东韵
恨不为卿言化工：“莫教含笑事东风。
一朝吹得丝囊尽，漫许人誇拂地红”。
注：○化工：造化也。贾谊《鵩鸟赋》：“且夫天地为炉兮，造化为工。”元稹 《春蝉》诗：“作诗怜化工，不遣春蝉生。”○拂地红：温庭筠《屈柘词》：“杨柳萦桥绿，玫瑰拂地红。”○原文云：“玫瑰环吾人怒放。彼云：我来此世间嫣然而放，忽然锦囊之丝穗自解，其中珍宝遍园中矣。”以中有凄怨，故以代言译之，庶得怨而不怒之旨。
Look to the blowing Rose about us—"Lo,
Laughing," she says, "into the world I blow,
"At once the silken tassel of my Purse
"Tear, and its Treasure on the Garden throw."
