不知细叶谁裁出,二月春风似剪刀

咏柳

贺知章

碧玉妆成一树高,
万条垂下绿丝绦。
不知细叶谁裁出,
二月春风似剪刀。

Ode to the Willow

by He Zhizhang (659-744 AD)

Willow trees are dressed up with jade from head to toe,
Like tens of thousands silk ribbons drooping low.
I wonder such elegant leaves are trimmed by which clever hand,
The spring breezes of February are just like the scissors.
