Shi Qing: Tonight, The Year Ends At Midnight 除夜 史青 今歲今宵盡，明年明日催 寒隨一夜去 春逐五更來 Poem by Frank Yue

New Year Eve (Written as commanded by the Emperor)
- Shi Qing (Tang Dynasty)

Tonight, The Year ends at midnight,
Tomorrow, the New Year comes into sight.
With the night the cold's going away,
At the fifth watch, Spring is coming to stay.

Joyful spirit in the air a-floating,
The radiant Spring will soon be returning.
None is aware of this yet,
Except peach flow'rs begin blooming in the backyard.


應詔賦得除夜
唐代：史青

今歲今宵盡，明年明日催。
寒隨一夜去，春逐五更來。
氣色空中改，容顏暗裡回。
風光人不覺，已著後園梅。
