Neither the coldest
autumn wind
it could hurt me
as this spring storm
dispersing petals.

Bite back passion. Spring now sets.
Watch little by little the night turn around.
Echoes in the house; want to go up, dare not.
A glow behind the screen; wish to go through, cannot.
It would hurt too much, the swallow on a hairpin;
Truly shame me, the phoenix on a mirror.
On the road back, sunrise over Heng-t'ang.
The blossoming of the morning-star shines farewell on the jewelled saddle.

Spring is the time of the year, when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.

I cannot say
which is which:
the glowing
plum blossom is
the spring night's moon.

Duckweed Pond

Spring pond deep and wide
Time for the vessel's return
Slow the duckweed flows together
Willows draw them apart again
