Spring View in Hangzhou

杭 州 春 望

白居易（许渊冲译）

Viewed from the Seaside Tower morning clouds look bright;

Along the riverbank I tread on fine sand white.

The General’s Temple hears roaring nocturnal tide;

Spring dwells in the Beauty’s Bower green willow hide.

The red sleeves weave brocade broidered with flowers fine;

Blue steamers show amid pear blossoms a shop of wine.

Who opens a southwest lane to the temple scene?

It slants like a silk girdle around a skirt green.

望海楼明照曙霞，

护江堤白踏晴沙。

涛声夜入伍员庙，

柳色春藏苏小家。

红袖织绫夸柿蒂，

青旗沽酒趁梨花。

谁开湖寺西南路，

草绿裙腰一道斜。
