Quote
NIGHT SNOWI was surprised my quilt and pillow were cold,I see that now the window's bright again.Deep in the night, I know the snow is thick,I sometimes hear the sound as bamboo snaps.

Quote
RETURNING LATE ON THE ROAD FROM PINGQUAN ON WINTER’S DAYThe mountain road is hard to travel, the sun now slanting down,In a misty village, a crow lands on a frosted tree.I'll not arrive before night falls, but that should not concern me,Once I've drunk three warm cups, I'll feel as if at home.

Quote
On the seventh day of the Seventh-month, in the Palace of Long Life,We told each other secretly in the quiet midnight worldThat we wished to fly in heaven, two birds with the wings of one,And to grow together on the earth, two branches of one tree."Earth endures, heaven endures; some time both shall end,While this unending sorrow goes on and on for ever.

Quote
THE BLOOM IS NOT A BLOOMThe bloom is not a bloom,The mist not mist.At midnight she comes,And goes again at dawn.She comes like a spring dream - how long will she stay?She goes like morning cloud, without a trace.

SPRING SLEEPThe pillow's low, the quilt is warm, the body smooth and peaceful,Sun shines on the door of the room, the curtain not yet open.Still the youthful taste of spring remains in the air,Often it will come to you even in your sleep.

A VISIT TO QIANTANG LAKE IN SPRINGGushan Temple is to the north, Jiating pavilion west,The water's surface now is calm, the bottom of the clouds low.In several places, the first orioles are fighting in warm trees,By every house new swallows peck at spring mud.Disordered flowers have grown almost enough to confuse the eye,Bright grass is able now to hide the hooves of horses.I most love the east of the lake, I cannot come often enoughWithin the shade of green poplars on White Sand Embankment.

REGRET FOR PEONY FLOWERSI'm saddened by the peonies before the steps, so red,As evening came I found that only two remained.Once morning's winds have blown, they surely won't survive,At night I gaze by lamplight, to cherish the fading red.

PEACH BLOSSOM AT DALIN TEMPLEAcross the world this June, the petals all have fallen,But the mountain temple's peach blossom has just begun to bloom.I regretted so much that spring had gone without a trace,I didn't know that it had only moved up here.

Two monks sit facing, playing chess on the mountain, The bamboo shadow on the board is dark and clear. Not a person sees the bamboo’s shadow, One sometimes hears the pieces being moved.
