昨朝深雪前村，

今宵淡月黄昏。

春到南枝几分？

水香冰晕。

唤回逋老诗魂。

A Verse by Xu Zaisi of Yuan dynasty

(Looking for Plum Flowers)

Yestermorn, in thick snow the village lay,

Tonight, the moon a bit dim, pale, and grey.

Spring slips in, where would some plum blooms sway?

Perfumed lakes and ice halos, by my fay,

Have roused Lin Bu’s poetic soul per se.
