EARLY SPRING IN LAUREL PALACE
SHANGGUAN YI
The royal cab leaves palace hall
For poolside garden mid1 sweet songs.
The trees are loud with orioles call;
On vernal shore grass grows in throngs2.
The breeze can write with morning dew;
Neath blue sky flowers bloom like snow.
Butterflies come now and anew;
The hills are warmed by evening glow.
早春桂林殿应诏
上官仪
步辇出披香，清歌临太液。
晓树流莺满，春堤荒草积。
风光翻露文，雪华上空碧。
花蝶来未已，山光暧将夕。
