寻南溪常道士-To South Stream for Taoist Chang
寻南溪常道士
刘长卿
一路经行处，莓苔见屐痕。
白云依静渚，芳草闭闲门。
过雨看松色，随山到水源。
溪花与禅意，相对亦忘言。
To South Stream for Taoist Chang
Liu Changqing
I perceive， as I pick my steps along the way，
On the moss-covered path， man’s shoe-prints clearly stay.
The white clouds cling to the quiet islet below；
Blocking the forlorn gate green grass is seen to grow.
The pine trees， just washed by the rain， much greener seem；
Tracing the mount leads me to the source of the stream.
Such flowers by the brook and such monastic solitude
Would， even in the Taoist’s presence， keep me mute.
