Here turn back, this very month....
Shall my own southward journey
Ever be retraced, I wonder?
...The river is pausing at ebb-tide,
And the woods are thick with clinging mist --
But tomorrow morning, over the mountain,
Dawn will be white with the plum-trees of home.

五言律诗
王湾
次北固山下
客路青山外, 行舟绿水前。
潮平两岸阔, 风正一帆悬。
海日生残夜, 江春入旧年。
乡书何处达? 归雁洛阳边。

A MOORING UNDER NORTH FORT HILL
Under blue mountains we wound our way,
My boat and 1, along green water;
Until the banks at low tide widened,
With no wind stirring my lone sail.
...Night now yields to a sea of sun,
And the old year melts in freshets.
At last I can send my messengers --
Wildgeese, homing to Loyang.

五言律诗
常建
题破山寺后禅院
清晨入古寺, 初日照高林。
曲径通幽处, 禅房花木深。
山光悦鸟性, 潭影空人心。
万籁此俱寂, 惟余钟磬音。

A BUDDHIST RETREAT BEHIND BROKEN-MOUNTAIN TEMPLE
In the pure morning, near the old temple,
Where early sunlight points the tree-tops,
My path has wound, through a sheltered hollow
Of boughs and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat.
Here birds are alive with mountain-light,
And the mind of man touches peace in a pool,
And a thousand sounds are quieted
By the breathing of a temple-bell.
