寻南溪常道士

刘长卿

一路经行处， 莓苔见履痕。

白云依静渚， 春草闭闲门。

过雨看松色， 随山到水源。

溪花与禅意， 相对亦忘言。

WHILE VISITING ON THE SOUTH STREAM THE TAOIST PRIEST CHANG

Liu Changing

Walking along a little path,

I find a footprint on the moss¹,

A while cloud low on the quiet lake,

Grasses that sweeten an idle door,

A pine grown greener with the rain,

A brook² that comes from a mountain source --

And, mingling³ with Truth among the flowers,

I have forgotten what to say.
