Hello,

 

I will be very grateful if someone help me with translating the inscription on silk embroidery. I'm attaching the photos.

Which period this embroidery may come from?

 

Thank you in advance.

Looks like a Chinese poem in a classic style (qi yan jueju - four lines, seven characters per line).

 

It is difficulf to translate to English, one reason being it is a Taoist poem.  The poem describes the palace of Taoist deities, its kind and gentle aura, with magical birds circling in the heavens, the bright red flowers and green plants and the fragrance.
