Vernal hibernation ...

Vernal hibernation / unaware of dawn
I resigned / hearing weeping birds
last night / a roaring rainstorm
blossoms fell / broken in youth

-- 孟浩然 (Mèng Hàorán) -- Translation by 白狐 (Bái Hú) --

「春曉」[chūn xiăo]
春眠不覺曉 - chūn mián bù jué xiăo
處處聞啼鳥 - chŭ chŭ wén tí niăo
夜來風雨聲 - yè lái fēng yŭ shēng
花落知多少 - huā luò zhī duō shăo

[Spring Dawn]
Spring sleep / not aware dawn
I resign / hear weeping birds
last night / wind rain sound
blossoms fell / know many young

dōngmián = winter sleep > chūnmián = spring sleep
hibernation > hibernate > vernation > vernate
Latin > vernare = rejuvinate in spring, bloom, start again
thus > spring hibernation, vernal hibernation
