花非花,雾非雾;

夜半来,天明去。

来如春梦几多时?

去似朝云无觅处。

花非花 白居易

雪蓥[or perhaps 莹]画

甲午秋月

Actually your note is in traditional characters and I just wrote it in simplified, but the words are the same. It's a poem by Bai Juyi (772-846). I looked up the English translation online, and then the translation of the entire note is:

The bloom is not a bloom,

The mist not mist.

At midnight she comes,

And goes again at dawn.

She comes like a spring dream - how long will she stay?

She goes like morning cloud, without a trace.

'The bloom is not a bloom' by Bai Juyi
