Bai Juyi: Evening Snow

 

[updated September 2022]

Evening Snow

夜 雪
已 讶 衾 枕 冰
复 见 窗 户 明。                                                                                                    夜 深 知 雪 重
时 闻 折 竹 声。
Ye Xue

Yi ya qin zhen bing
Fu jian chuang hu ming.                                                                                                          Ye shen zhi xue chong
Shi wen she zhu sheng.

Evening Snow

Surprised my pillow and quilt so cold
Turn over to see the window and door have brightened.                                  Realize there was a deep snowfall during the night
Presently hear the sounds of snapping bamboo.
