春思 - 贾至 Spring Thoughts by Jia Zhi

燕草如碧丝，秦桑低绿枝。
When Yan’s spring grass grows green like silk,
Qin’s mulberry trees hang with leafy boughs.

当君怀归日，是妾断肠时。
When you long to return home,
It breaks my heart just the same.

春风不相识，何事入罗帏？
Spring breeze, you know me not—
Why then drift into my gauze-curtained chamber?
