吹落桃花
宋 慈受懷深 ( 1077~1132 )
只是舊時行履處，
等閑舉著便淆訛；
夜來一陣狂風起，
吹落桃花知幾多。

Blowing down Many Peach Blossoms
Cishou Huaishen (1077 - 1132, Song Dynasty)
English translation: John Balcom
I only travel to old places I have been,
Carelessly forming attachments. Such is confusion.
A strong wind rises at night,
Blowing down many peach blossoms.
── from Wudeng Huiyuan (Compendium of the Five Lamps)
