Visiting A Taoist On Tiatien Mountain

Amongst bubbling streams

a dog barks; peach blossom

is heavy with dew; here

and there a deer can

be seen in forest glades!

No sound of the mid-day

bell enters this fastness

where blue mist rises

from bamboo groves;

down from a high peak

hangs a waterfall;

non knows where he has gone, so sadly I rest,

with my back leaning

against a pine.
