AT HERON LODGE

The bright sun blankets the mountains,
And the Yellow River drifts towards the ocean;
To get the pleasure of overlooking the farthest view,
Let's advance a higher ground.

ON HEARING A LUTE-PLAYER

Over the very cold seven strings you play,
I quietly listen in the cold wind through the pines.
This old melody I greatly love ,
Is seldomly played nowadays.

Nor stand of a mirror bright.
Since all is void,
Where can the dust alight?

IN A RETREAT AMONG BAMBOOS

Leaning alone in the tranquil bamboos,
I play lute as well as flute
Hardly heard in the deep of the woods,
Accompanying me is the bright shinning moon

A NOTE LEFT FOR A RECLUSE

Inquiring a boy by a pine-tree,
I was told the recluse went for herbs,
Amid somewhere in the mountain,
Not knowing his whereabouts in the cloud of mist.
