君自故乡来,应知故乡事。来日绮窗前,寒梅着花未?· Sir,from my dear old home you come,| And all its events you can name. | Oh tell me,has the winter-plum,| Yet blossomed o'er the window-frame?
· Oh,sir,from the place of my youth are you come? | The things of my village you surely know. | Still peeps the sun through my gauze window at home? | The early plum blossom,oh,yet does it blow?
