A girl closed the door in the spring,
life is cozy in the singing of the light rain.
Suddenly she cried her heart out because
she remembered the dream of kissing her boy.
Leaning on the balustrade to recall,
those sweet memories bounce on her little soul.
Suddenly she caught a butterfly and smiled because
she remembered the day he walked through the roses with the butterfly.
春浅，红怨，掩双环。
微雨花间，昼闲。
无言暗将红泪弹。
阑珊，香销轻梦还。
斜倚画屏思往事，皆不是，空作相思字。
记当时垂柳丝，花枝，满庭蝴蝶儿。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
