这首咏物诗是诗人于唐武宗会昌六年闲居永乐期间所作。

当时以牛信孺为首和李德裕的一群的朋党互相倾轧，李商隐因娶王茂元之女一事，构怨于牛党的令狐鹗，因而境况很不如意。

于是，便借园中的落花抒发自己忧伤身世之感。

通过对花叶飘落表达了诗人素怀壮志，不见用于世的凄婉和感慨。

全诗洋溢着伤春惜花之感。

落花　 李商隐高阁客竟去，小园花乱飞。

参差连曲陌，迢递送斜晖。

肠断未忍扫，眼穿仍欲归。

芳心向春尽，所得是沾衣。

Fallen FlowersLi Shang-yinFrom the tall pavilion the guests have all departed;In the little garden, flowers fly, pell-mell.

They fall at random on the winding path,And travel far, sending off the setting sun.

Heartbroken, I cannot bear to sweep them away;Gazing hard, I watch them till few are left.

Their fragrant heart, following spring, dies;What they have earned are tears that wet one’s clothes.
