游园不值

[宋] 叶绍翁（1225-1264）

应怜屐齿印苍苔，  
小扣柴扉久不开。  
春色满园关不住，  
一只红杏出墙来。

Visiting a Garden When Its Master Is Out

I repine at pressing clog-teeth prints on the deep green moss;
The brushwood door when knocked as I wait long doth not ope at all.
The ravishing beauties of the garden could not be contained;
A bough of glowing apricot blooms stretcheth out of the wall.

胖熊说

云深不知处 与本诗红杏出墙，一隐，一显;一出，一进，都是访客不遇，意境却是不同。
