文／宋．蘇軾（1036～1101）

春宵一刻值千金，花有清香月有陰。

歌管樓台聲細細，秋千院落夜沉沉。

Spring Night

Su Shi (1036 - 1101, Song Dynasty)

English translation: Venerable Zhi Yue

A moment of spring night is worth a

thousand gold.

The flowers are sweetly fragranted,

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
