木末芙蓉花
Magnolia flowers at the tips of branches
山中发红萼
Open red blossoms in the mountains.
涧户寂无人
No one is here by the quiet ravine;
纷纷开且落
One by one, flowers open and fall.
What the poem means
Magnolia blossoms open at the branch tips beside a quiet mountain ravine. Even without visitors, flowers open and petals fall in their own time.
