Spring Verse (Liu Yuxi)
**Spring Song** (Liu Yuxi)
With fresh makeup suited to her face, she descends the red tower,
Spring's radiance locked deep—one courtyard full of grief.
She walks into the courtyard center to count the flower blooms,
A dragonfly flits up onto her jade hairpin.
春詞 (劉禹錫)
新妝宜面下朱樓，
深鎖春光一院愁。
行到中庭數花朵，
蜻蜓飛上玉搔頭。
