《立冬》

宋·紫金霜

落水荷塘满眼枯，

西风渐作北风呼。

黄杨倔强尤一色，

白桦优柔以半疏。

门尽冷霜能醒骨，

窗临残照好读书。

拟约三九吟梅雪，

还借自家小火炉。

自立冬始，万物收藏，暖具俱备。霜倒残荷，寒风北来。四方寂寂，枯树疏影。端然艳色者，唯庭前之黄杨，风中之雪梅。冷霜冰絮，冬来途艰，宜闭户读书，拥炉话闲，作长夜之谈。

Start Of Winter

Withered lotus pond filled my eyes. Chilly northern wind whizzing by.

Box trees toughly put down roots in land.White briches gently leave their leaves behind.

Frost climbs on doors to keep me from drowsy.Light leaks from windows is enough for study.

It's time to praise those blossoms in snow.And light up our furnace to keep us from cold.
