Original Poem
二月黄莺飞上林，春城紫禁晓阴阴。
长乐钟声花外尽，龙池柳色雨中深。
阳和不散穷途恨，霄汉长怀捧日心。
献赋十年犹未遇，羞将白发对华簪。
Pinyin
èr yuè huáng yīng fēi shàng lín， chūn chéng zǐ jìn xiǎo yīn yīn。
cháng lè zhōng shēng huā wài jìn， lóng chí liǔ sè yǔ zhōng shēn。
yáng hé bù sàn qióng tú hèn， xiāo hàn cháng huái pěng rì xīn。
xiàn fù shí nián yóu wèi yù， xiū jiāng bái fà duì huá zān。
English Meaning
Second month: orioles fly over Shanglin Park; spring city, the palace under dawn shadow. The bells of Changle fade beyond the flowers; the dragon pool's willows deepen in the rain. Mild spring cannot disperse the gloom of my dead-end road; toward the heavens I still hold a heart that would bear up the sun. Ten years presenting rhapsodies, still unrecognized — ashamed before your court cap, my white hair.

About the Poem
A request-poem by Qian Qi to the court official Pei. Palace splendor fills the first half; the poet's unfulfilled decade fills the second — flattery kept honest by self-pity.
