遊小園不值（宋）葉紹翁

海外逸士

應嫌屐齒印蒼苔﹐十扣柴扉九不開。春色滿園關不住﹐一枝紅杏出牆來。

Visit The Garden When Host's Not In
by Ye Shaoweng

As hating so much on the lawn to have the prints of shoes
That oft at nine knocks out of ten the wooden door opens not;
But spring beauties all o'er the garden no one can enclose,
So outstretches over the wall a bough of red apricot.
