《大林寺桃花》?－ 白居易

《大林寺桃花》－ 白居易

 

人間四月芳菲盡，

山寺桃花始盛開。

長恨春歸無覓處，

不知轉入此中來。

 

A Quatrain by Bai Juyi

 

Late April on earth flowering hath but expired,

Yet this hill temple's peach blooms just begin to blow.

Oft I lament where I’d find the spring retired,

It hath hidden away right in here I didn't know. 

 

Tr. Ziyuzile

 

四月 －Could it mean early May in terms of the Chinese lunar calendar ...?
