Spring dawn
Has morning yet dawned?
Here is heard the birdsong,
And in the night, the noise of the wind and rain.
The flowers know how much rain fell.

A Spring Dawn
You can't sleep in, in Spring! And so at
Mr Chu Wen's residence he wakes up early to the sound of birdsong.
Night will return with a pitter-patter of raindrops blossoming in puddles.
In the din of the rain you can't hear a thing.

Spring Dawn
I wake at dawn aware of spring
As the cry of a bird carries into my room
With the sound of the rain coming in the wind
Falling like a thousand tiny blossoms
CMW
A joyful dawn
Don't sleep—awake to a joyful dawn
Listen to the dawn chorus
The wind and rain have gone like the night
Thousands of blossoms fall!
