Warming up

In the Quiet NightSo bright a gleam on the foot of my bed---

Could there have been a frost already?

Lifting myself to look, I found that it was moonlight.

Sinking back again, I thought suddenly of home.By Li Bai

静夜思床前明月光，疑是地上霜。抬头望明月，低头思故乡。

The Willow The slender tree is dressed in emerald all about,A thousand branches droop like fringes made of jade.But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out?The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor blade.

By Meng Haoran 咏柳 碧玉妆成一树高 , 万条垂下绿丝绦不知细叶谁裁出 , 二月春风似剪刀
