Egrets 白鷺


Egrets


In frosty garb, snow blossoms, and sapphire beaks

The flock catch fish amidst the shadowy brook

In startled flight they go off to shimmering green peaks

A lone tree's pear blossoms fallen in the night wind


Tu Mu (803-852)



白鷺


霜衣雪花青玉嘴,

群捕魚兒溪影中。

驚飛遠映碧山去,

一樹梨花落晚風。


杜牧 (803-852)
