杨柳非花树，
The willows are by no means blooming trees,
依楼自觉春。
But by the boudoir they do smell of spring.
枝边通粉色，
A pinkish colour is seen in the breeze;
叶里映红巾。
To leaves a scarlet kerchief seems to cling.
带日交帘影，
The willows leave their shadow on the blind,
因吹扫席尘。
And dust the boudoir mattress from time to time.
