1. Spring Morning
- by Meng Haoran (689-740) of Tang Dynasty (618-907)
This spring morning in bed I'm lying,
Not to awake till the birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers?
2.Written in a Village South of the Capital
- by Cui Hu (772 - 846) of Tang Dynasty
In this house on this day last year, a pink face vied
In beauty with the pink peach blossoms side by side.
I do not know today where the pink face has gone;
In the vernal breeze still smile pink peach blossoms full-blown.
3. Happy Rain on a Spring Night (Excerpts)
- by Du Fu (712-770) of Tang Dynasty
Good rain knows its time right;
It will fall when comes spring.
With wind it steals in night;
Mute, it moistens each thing.
4.Dreaming of the Southern Shore
- by Bai Juyi (772-846) of Tang Dynasty
Fair Southern shore,
With scenes I adore.
At sunrise riverside flowers redder than fire,
In spring green waves grow as blue as sapphire,
Which I can't but admire.
5. Love Seeds
- by Wang Wei (701-761) of Tang Dynasty
Red berries grow in the southern land.
How many load in spring the trees!
Gather them till full is your hand;
They would revive fond memories.
