Spring Morning
        Meng Haoran(689一740)

How we have overslept the spring morning!
Here
        there
                everywhere
                        birds are heard twittering.
After a long night’s clamor
        of Wind and rain
How many petals
        have fallen to the ground?
 
Chūn Xiǎo
Mènɡ Hàorán 689-740

Chūnmián bù jué xiǎo,
Chù chù wén tíniǎo.
Yè lái fēnɡ yǔ shēnɡ,
Huā luò zhī duō shǎo.

Notes:
[大意]在春夜裏睡覺不知不覺天已拂曉,外面處處傳來鳥的鳴叫。昨夜裏陣陣風聲雨聲,不知有多少花兒被打傷吹落。
