赠从弟（其二）
【汉】刘桢
亭亭山上松，瑟瑟谷中风。
风声一何盛，松枝一何劲！
冰霜正惨凄，终岁常端正。
岂不罹凝寒？松柏有本性。

To My Cousin (No. 2)
By LIU Zhen
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
On the high mountain tower pine trees;
In the valley blows a cool breeze.
Now how the wind swells up and soughs!
How the pines hold up their strong boughs!
The ice and frost piercingly bite;
Year in year out they stand all right.
Don’t they suffer much from the cold?
Rectitude’s their nature, their mould.
