《大林寺桃花》?－ 白居易

《大林寺桃花》－ 白居易

 

人间四月芳菲尽，

山寺桃花始盛开。

长恨春归无觅处，

不知转入此中来。

 

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 ...?
