大 林 寺 桃 花
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。

Da Lin Temple Peach Blossoms
Fourth lunar month, city people miss the rich and fragrant flowers
But the mountain temple peach blossoms just beginning to open.
Long regret missing out on the return of spring pleasures
Did not realize by coming here, one can be reborn and returned.
Notes:
Da Lin temple: Buddhist temple located in the city of Jiangyin at the foot of Mt. Qingming.
Peach blossoms: The mere mention of peach blossoms in ancient Chinese poetry always alludes to Tao Yuanming, and his poem Peach Blossom Springhead. Both can be found on this website.
