Regret The Passing Of Peonies

Bai Juyi 772-846 I'm saddened          for the red peonies                 before the steps, I came too late         only two                  wilted blossoms remain. Tomorrow morning         winds will surely rise                 and blow them to oblivion, Tonight          grasping a lamp                 I enjoy the last fading red.

Xī Mǔdan Huā

Bái Jūyì 772-846 Chóuchàng jié qiān hóng mǔdan, Wǎn lái wéiyǒu liǎng zhī cán. Mīngzhāo fēngqǐ yīng chuī jìn, Yè xī shuāi hóng bǎ huǒ kàn.

Notes: When the peonies bloom in Luoyang they are everywhere. But if you arrive late only a few sad late blossoms remain.
