喜春来
 金华客舍

张可久

落红小雨苍苔径，

飞絮东风细柳营[1]，

可怜客里过清明。

不待听，

昨夜杜鹃声。

注释：

[1]细柳营：原指汉文帝大将周亚夫镇守细柳的军营，这里取其春风杨柳的景色，与“苍苔径”相对。

Tune: Welcome to Spring
 At an Inn in Jinhua

Zhang Kejiu

A fine rain brings down red flowers on mossy way,

And the west wind blows willow down away.

How sad and drear to pass a lonely Mourning Day!

How could I bear to hear all the night long

The cuckoos’ home-going song!
