Wang Shi:A Riverbank Wintersweet Tree
Of a sudden in sight, a wintersweet tree,
By the bank of the River Han, in bloom.
Not knowing spring hues could arrive this early,
To have thought ’twere a pearl maid --- I so assume.

Translated to be consistent with the painting by 倪曉濱of a lady and a
flowering tree.
江濱梅 唐 · 王適
忽見寒梅樹，
開花漢水濱。
不知春色早，
疑是弄珠人。
