芳朝丽淑景，
庭草茸清香。
帘栊摇白日，
影弄春花光。
妆梳明月髻，
杯浮碧华觞。
瑶池谅非邈，
愿言青鸟翔
Early morning’s view is so beautiful
And grasses in the garden are fragrant
Curtain is shaking with sunlight
Shadow is playing with flowers
Moonlight shines on my hair bun
The happiness is floating on the cup
No sadness in the lake,
I hope that is the blue bird flying
"Spring"
