This wall scroll is discounted because of a minor stray pencil mark (it's very faint but inside the paper, so not something that can be removed).
The text of this poem is:
春眠不覺曉,處處聞啼鳥。
夜來風雨聲,花落知多少。
This translates roughly as:
Sleeping in spring without realizing dawn, hearing birds singing everywhere.
The sound of wind and rain at night, how many flowers fall.
Another version:
On a spring night, I slept soundly and didn't know it was dawn. When I woke up, I only heard birds singing everywhere.
Thinking of the sound of wind and rain last night, how many flower petals fell?
