春晓

A Spring Morning

孟浩然

By Meng Haoran

春眠不觉晓，

This spring morning in bed I’m lying,

处处闻啼鸟。

Not to awake till birds are crying.

夜来风雨声，

After one night of wind and showers,

花落知多少。

How many are the fallen flowers!

江南春

Spring on the Southern Rivershore

杜牧

By Du Mu

千里莺啼绿映红，

Orioles sing for miles amid red blooms and green trees;

水村山郭酒旗风。

By hills and rills wine shop streamers wave in the breeze.

南朝四百八十寺，

Four hundred eighty splendid temples still remain;

多少楼台烟雨中。

Of Southern Dynasties in the mist and rain.

春雪

Spring Snow

韩愈

By Han Yu

新年都未有芳华，

On vernal day no flowers were in bloom, alas!

二月初惊见草芽。

In second moon I’m glad to see the budding grass.

白雪却嫌春色晚，

But White snow dislikes the late coming vernal breeze,

故穿庭树作飞花。

In plays the parting flowers flying through the trees.
