AN OLD MAN S SONG OF SPRING
By Seng Dji-Nan (Sung Dynasty)
Among the trees I may yet Enjoy the day at sunset;
For willow winds are not cold, Apricot rains are not wet.
SEEKING THE HERMIT IN VAIN
By Gia Dao (T'ang Dynasty)
"Gone to gather herbs" So they say of you.
But in cloud-girt hills, What am I to do?
ON BEING DENIED ADMITTANCE TO A FRIEND S GARDEN
By Yeh Shih (Sung Dynasty)
Although your gate bar my way, You cannot check the spring's play;
For free above your proud wall There hangs one apricot spray.
