杨柳枝词

Song of Willow Branch

Bai Juyi

A tree of million branches sways in breeze of spring，

More tender， more soft than golden silk string by string.

But in west corner of a garden in decay，

Who would come to admire its beauty all the day？

（Translated by Xu Yuanchong）

杨柳枝词

〔唐〕白居易

一树春风千万枝，

嫩于金色软于丝。

永丰西角荒园里，

尽日无人属阿谁？
