早梅 - （明）道源
万树寒无色，南枝独有花。
香闻流水处，影落野人家。
A Quatrain by Dao Yuan (Ming dynasty)
(Plum Blossoms in Early Spring)
All trees lost their own hue in extreme cold,
But a south twig alone still stands to blow.
A scent leads me to a brookside household,
The twig’s shade on its wall sways to and fro.
Tr. Ziyuzile
