立春偶成 – (宋)张栻
律回岁晚冰霜少,春到人间草木知。
便觉眼前生意满,东风吹水绿参差。
A Quatrain by Zhang Shi (Soong dynasty)
(An Impromptu on Lichun - Beginning of Spring)
Frost and ice thaw at the year’s end,
Spring’s coming, trees and grass first know.
Full life feasts eyes with a lush blend,
Green streams ripple, as east winds blow.
Tr. Ziyuzile
