大林寺[1]桃花
人间[2]四月芳菲[3]尽，

长恨春归无觅处，
不知转入此中来。

Peach Blossoms in the Temple of Great Forest
Bai Juyi
All flowers in late spring have fallen far and wide,
But peach blossoms are full-blown on this mountainside.
I oft regret spring’s gone without leaving its trace;
I do not know it’s come up to adorn this place.
The poet expresses his joy at seeing peach blossoms in Mount Lu when other flowers are all fallen in late spring.
