the posting has been updated to show original poem in Chinese (as Google in its' wisdom has moved into htpps and any reference to htpp is unable to be posted and I then go jumping through hoops so to speak in order to get the original in)
Spring Sleep - by Bai Juyi about 800 A.D.
Pillow low quilt warm body smooth and steady
Sunshine room door cloth not open
Still have young spring air taste
Often brief arrive sleep at come
Sunshine room door cloth not open
Still have young spring air taste
Often brief arrive sleep at come
The pillow's low, the quilt is warm, the body smooth and peaceful,
Sun shines on the door of the room, the curtain not yet open.
Still the youthful taste of spring remains in the air,
Often it will come to you even in your sleep.
Sun shines on the door of the room, the curtain not yet open.
Still the youthful taste of spring remains in the air,
