暮 春

——丁酉暮春

雨生百谷蛙無忌，

幾處池塘月有聲。

疑似春歸花未謝，

櫻桃紅透草木深。

Late Spring

It rains hard in the valleys where the frogs croak recklessly

to the incessant night sounds of the ponds.

The flowers have not withered yet. Has the Spring returned?

Cherries glow deep red against a leafy expanse of grass and trees.
