春風何蕭蕭，和雨復兼雪，折華功未深，偃草勢曾烈。  
毘城癡愛老，怯寒對清拙，襄巖影響士，  
難御同孤劣。鼇峯人不來，柴門亦休閉，松頭栗鼠下，  
時把藤床嚙。庭際霜禽歸，屢啄苔錢闕，  
一旦春風息，暖日生林樾。幽徑磐石上，  
拄笻行且歇，無絃兮莫彈，有語兮存舌。冷落流水聲，  
古之若為說，凋殘早梅樹，今之若為別。  
俯仰身力輕，翻憶春風切，為吾吹却塵，欲革分岐轍，  
為吾吹却雲，欲問遼空月，不知天地間，  
堪為誰交結。

> How soughing is the spring wind!  
> Joined by rain and mingled with snow.  
> Its merit in plucking flowers is not yet deep;  
> Its power in flattening grasses was once fierce.  
> The old man of foolish attachment in Vaiśālī,  
> Fearing the cold, faces plain simplicity.  
> The men of echo and shadow of Xiang crag  
> Are difficult to control, alike in solitary wretchedness.  
> No one comes from Turtle Peak;  
> The brushwood gate also need not be closed.  
> Squirrels descend from the pine tops,  
> Now and then gnawing at the rattan couch.  
> Frosty birds return to the courtyard,  
> Repeatedly pecking at the broken moss coins.  
> Once the spring wind ceases,  
> The warm sun arises in the woods and groves.  
> Upon the flat boulders of the secluded path,  
> Staff in hand, I walk and rest.  
> When there are no strings, do not play;  
> When there are words, preserve the tongue.  
> The desolate sound of flowing water—  
> How could the ancients speak of it?  
> The withered trees of early plums—  
> How can they be parted from today?  
> Looking down and up, my body's strength is light;  
> I instead recall the spring wind intensely:  
> Blow away the dust for me, for I wish to mend the diverging tracks;  
> Blow away the clouds for me, for I wish to ask of the moon in the distant sky.  
> I know not, between heaven and earth,  
> Who is worthy to form a bond with?
