The Willow
The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,
A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.
But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?
The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.
By Meng Haoran
咏柳
碧玉妆成一树高, 万条垂下绿丝绦
不知细叶谁裁出, 二月春风似剪刀
In the quiet night
So bright a gleam on the foot of my bed---
Could there have been a frost already?
Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.
Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of my home.
(By Li Bai)

静夜思
床前明月光,疑是地上霜。
抬头望明月,低头思故乡。
When will the moon be clear and bright? With a cup of wine in my hand, I ask the blue sky.明月几时有, 把酒问青天。Very quietly I take my leave As quietly as I came here; Quietly I wave good-bye To the rosy clouds in the western sky. 轻轻的我走了,正如我轻轻的来; 我轻轻的招手, 作别西天的云彩。 Say Goodbye to Cambridge AgainA SPRING MORNING
I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,
Everywhere round me the singing of birds,
But now I remember the night, the storm,
And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.
(by Meng Haoran)春晓
春眠不觉晓,处处闻啼鸟.
夜来风雨声,花落知多少.When the winds blow
And grass bends low,
My sheep and cattle will emerge before your eyes.风吹草低现牛羊Among the livings, be the greatest.
Among the dead, be the strongest.生当做人杰,
死亦为鬼雄。 One- hearted
When those red berries come in springtime,
Flushing on your southland branches,
Take home an armful, for my sake,
As a symbol of our love.
相思(王维)
红豆生南国,春来发几枝。
愿君多采撷,此物最相思。If winter comes,
Can spring be far behind?

春天还会远吗?
雪莱--- 《西风颂》

We would have won…
