大林寺桃花

Peach Blossoms at Great Grove Temple

Dàlínsì Táohuā

by Bai Juyi 白居易 · 772 – 846

  • Spring
  • Flowers
  • Mountains
人间四月芳菲尽Down in the world, April's flowers are finished;
山寺桃花始盛开in the mountain temple the peach blossoms have just opened.
长恨春归无觅处I had long grieved that spring went nowhere to be found —
不知转入此中来I did not know it had turned in here.
