On a Gate-Tower at Yu-Chou - 登幽州台歌
Where, before me, are the ages that have gone?
And where, behind me, are the coming generations?
I think of heaven and earth, without limit, without end,
And I am all alone and my tears fall down.
Leave Me Not - 古别离
You wish to go -and yet your robe I hold.
Where are you going -tell me, dear, -to-day?
Your late returning does not anger me,
But that another steal your heart away.
Reading Buddhist Classics with Zhao at His Temple in the Early Morning - 晨诣超师院读禅经
...The world has forgotten the true fountain of this teaching
And people enslave themselves to miracles and fables.
Under the given words I want the essential meaning,
I look for the simplest way to sow and reap my nature.
The ruin of the Kusu Palace - 蘇台覽古
In the deserted garden among the crumbling walls
The willows show green again,
While the sweet notes of the water-nut song
Seem to lament the spring.
Deer Park Hermitage - 鹿柴
So Lone seem the hills; there is no one in sight there.
But whence is the echo of voices I hear?
The rays of the sunset pierce slanting the forest,
And in their reflection green mosses appear.
