Original text of the poem
In front of Huangshi Pagoda, the river is east, and the spring light is lazy and leaning on the breeze.
The peach blossoms bloom in clusters without an owner, the lovely deep red loves the light red.
Huang Si’s parents’ house is full of flowers, with thousands of flowers hanging down the branches.
The butterflies dance all the time, and the orioles sing at ease.
