春归何处？
寂寞无行路。
若有人知春去处，
唤取归来同住。
春无踪迹谁知？
除非问取黄鹂。
百啭无人能解，
因风飞过蔷薇。
The Tune of Qingping
By Huang Tingjian
Spring, where have you gone?
Lonely, there’s no walking path.
If…someone knows her whereabouts,
Please call her to return and stay with us.
But…who on earth knows spring’s trace?
Unless we ask that yellow oriole.
Yet his songs no one understands,
And with the wind, he flew over the rose.@
