几片轻盈的雪花

A few light flakes of snow

飘落在虚弱的阳光中；

Fall in the feeble sun;

鸟儿在寒意中歌唱，

Birds sing in the cold,

墙边的鸣禽。李树

A warbler by the wall. The plum

紧裹而寒冷的花蕾就要开放。

Buds tight and chill soon bloom.

月亮开始

The moon begins first

初露，西边的一线蒙胧

Fourth, a faint slice west

在暮色中。木星在半路上

At nightfall. Jupiter half-way

高悬在夜间沉思

High at the end of night-

结束之际。鸽子的鸣叫

Meditation. The dove cry

如同拨动的琴弦声。

Twangs like a bow.

黎明时比坚山顶端

At dawn Mt. Hiei dusted white

一派白茫茫；清澈的空气中

On top; in the clear air

城镇周围那冲出沟壑的

Folds of all the gullied green

绿色山岗锋利，

Hills around the town are sharp,

呼吸带来刺痛。带霜的

Breath stings. Beneath the roofs

屋顶下面

Of frosty houses

情侣分离，离开被褥下面

Lovers part, from tangle warm

那温和的躯体的缠绵的暖意

Of gentle bodies under quilt

打破冰冷的水来洗脸

And crack the icy water to the face

醒来喂他们所爱的

And wake and feed the children

孩子和孙子。

And grandchildren that they love.
