Taking Leave of the Flowering Trees I planted on Eastern Slope, # 1
Bai Juyi 722-846 

Two years tarring in this river town,
its plants, trees, birds, fish, all dear to me.
But where do I turn my eyes most often, most fondly?
To peach and damson planted on Eastern Slope, just sarting to be fine.
 
Bié Zhòng Dōngpō Huā Shù Liáng Jué
Bái Jūyì 722-846

Sān nián liú zhì zài jiāng chéng,
Cǎo shù qín yú jìn yǒu qíng.
Héchù yīnqín chóng huíshǒu?
Dōngpō táo lǐ zhōng xīn chéng.
