1 春時雨後地新花 New blooms all over the ground after the spring rains,
2 碧翠草葉天配畫 Picturesque green are the grasses and leaves - a match in heaven.
3 白雲窺妒萬紫紅 Endless swaths of ruddiness envied by white clouds in secret,
4 曾似谷中竊年華 As if once upon a time in this valley, youth had been stolen away.
1 Spring represents youthfulness, flowers – maidens; rains the act of “fertilization”.
2 Green grasses and leaves are accompanying youths.
3 White clouds in the sky, aged men in positions of power lamenting at their own lost youth.
4 This line opens to a number of possibilities for the reader to ponder on.
