Early Spring Fondly Remember Li Jiao’s Work
早 春 寻 李 校 书
款 款 春 风 澹 澹 云
柳 枝 低 翠 作 栊 裙。
梅 含 鸡 舌 兼 红 气
江 弄 琼 花 散 绿 纹。
带 雾 山 莺 啼 尚 小
穿 沙 芦 筍 叶 才 分。
今 朝 何 事 偏 相 觅？
撩 乱 芳 情 最 是 君。
Zao Chun Xun Li Xiao Shu
Kuan kuan chun fang dan dan yun
Liu zhi di cui zuo long qun.
Mei han ji she jian hong qi
Jiang long qiong hua san lu wen.
Dai wu shan ying ti shang xiao
Chuan sha lu sun ye cai fen.
Jin zhao he shi pian xiang mi?
Liao luan fang qing zui shi jun.
Early Spring Fondly Remember Li Jiao’s Work
Spring breezes and very tranquil clouds bring some entertainment
Willow tree branches low like emerald green curtains and skirts.
At the imperial morning audience, you exhale the fragrances of plum blossoms
Exquisite flowers along stream sides in scattered green patterns.
Oriole babies utter soft cheeps within a belt of foggy mountains
Reeds and bamboo shoots emerge separately from the sand.
Why am I seeking my friend at daybreak?
Even with all these fragrant plants, they cannot connect with me like you.
