春宵
宋 蘇軾 ( 1036~1101 )
春宵一刻值千金，花有清香月有陰；
歌管樓臺聲細細，秋千院落夜沉沉。
──選自《東坡詩集》

Spring Night
Su Shi (1036 - 1101, Song Dynasty)
English translation: Zhi Yue
A moment of spring night
is worth a thousand gold.
The flowers are sweetly fragranced,
and the moon overcast.
The music from the flute on the balcony plays softly,
the night on the garden swing gets quieter.
── from Dongpo Shiji (Collected Poems of Su Shi)
