I think of Jia Yi, who taught here and died here-
And I wonder what my term shall be.

五言律诗
钱起
送僧归日本
上国随缘住, 来途若梦行。
浮天沧海远, 去世法舟轻。
水月通禅寂, 鱼龙听梵声。
惟怜一灯影, 万里眼中明。

FAREWELL TO A JAPANESE BUDDHIST PRIEST
BOUND HOMEWARD
You were foreordained to find the source.
Now, tracing your way as in a dream
There where the sea floats up the sky,
You wane from the world in your fragile boat....
The water and the moon are as calm as your faith,
Fishes and dragons follow your chanting,
And the eye still watches beyond the horizon
The holy light of your single lantern.

五言律诗
钱起
谷口书斋寄杨补阙
泉壑带茅茨, 云霞生薜帷。
竹怜新雨后, 山爱夕阳时。
闲鹭栖常早, 秋花落更迟。
家童扫萝径, 昨与故人期。

FROM MY STUDY AT THE MOUTH OF THE VALLEY.
A MESSAGE TO CENSOR YANG
At a little grass-hut in the valley of the river,
Where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,
You will love the bamboos new with rain,
And mountains tender in the sunset.
Cranes drift early here to rest
And autumn flowers are slow to fade....
I have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy path
For the coming of my friend.
