From the dark roots of the leaves’ stems new greens gradually sprout. / Apricot and peach trees start blooming as Qingming approaches. / To enjoy spring it is most crucial to be where spring is lovely. / Halting my walking staff, I idly listen to the chirping birds.

Text

A perilous plank path runs across the crags toward the blue sky. / Leaves fall in frosty woods as the west wind arises. / A loner whips his crippled horse forward in the autumn dusk. / Over myriad valleys the setting sun glows glaringly red.
