陽春曲·春景 - （元）胡祗遹

幾枝紅雪牆頭杏，

數點青山屋上屏。

一春能得幾晴明？

三月景，

宜醉不宜醒。

A Verse by Hu Zhiyu (Yuan dynasty)

(Spring Vista)

A few apricots on the wall look like red snow,

A few blue hills appear above roofs like a screen,

How many bonny days in spring could spring e’er know?

The vista in March so serene,

‘Tis for tiddly eyne, not for the minds overkeen.  

Tr. Ziyuzile
