再遊玄都觀 劉禹錫


再遊玄都觀     劉禹錫  (772-842)

百畝庭中半是苔, 桃花淨盡菜花開。  
種桃道士歸何處, 前度劉郎今又來。  

Xuan Dou Temple Revisited        Liu Yuxi (772-842)    

Half of the hundred acre courtyard is covered with only mosses,
Peach blossoms are all gone leaving only wild flowers making the most,
What has become of the Taoist monk who first planted the peach blows,
Here returns the Liu Chen who has been exiled and demoted.
