A Superb Spring Scene With Lush Willows And Bright Buds Poem by East Sea Fairy Xing Yi

By ZHANG LiangnengTranslated by East-sea Fairy

The shady willows grow lavish green.
The bright blossoms blow pretty.
What a superb spring scene!
The jade-hairpin-like crystal buds that put forth newly
beside the refined rail of delicacy,
are the budding blushing peony flowers
After the drizzle, the warm breeze sends over a fine tune of birds' tittering melody.
Drag on longer the day hours,
with faint early spring chilly whirs.

Bygone is the past,
So I don't need to indulge in it.
Warm and genial is the vernal blast.
Myself of a leisure and happy-go-lucky life I should permit,
and with worry and anxiety split.
I just need to climb the terraces and towers,
and make a tour the waterside pavilions when I find it fit.
Oh! Far and wide can see the faint footprints I left on former tours and wanders.
Yet the only lost thing which cannot be found anywhere is the young heart full of ardors.
