Spring to the tune of Sky Scouring Sand
天净沙·春
The temperate sun, the verdant hills and the vernal breeze;
春山暖日和风，
Towers, balustrades and curtained windows;
阑干楼阁帘栊，
There in the yard are swings and willows at their ease;
杨柳秋千院中。
Oriels chirping and swallows dancing in the sky,
啼莺舞燕，
The wooden bridge, the flowing water pink with flowers that fly.
小桥流水飞红。
