Four-Line Poem: Late Spring Day

 

绝 句: 二 首
迟 日 江 山 丽
春 风 花 草 香。
泥 融 飞 燕 子
沙 暖 睡 鸳 鸯。
Jue Ju: Er Shou

Chi ri jiang shan li
Chun feng hua cao xiang.
Ni rong fei yan zi
Sha nuan shui yuan yang.

 

Four-Line Poem: Late Spring Day

Late spring day, beautiful rivers and mountains
Spring breezes, fragrant flowers and grasses.
Sparrow chicks flying to and from mud-blended nests
Sleeping mandarin ducks and drakes in the warm sand.
