題李凝幽居 – 賈島

 

閑居少鄰並，草徑入荒園。
鳥宿池邊樹，僧敲月下門。
過橋分野色，移石動雲根。
暫去還來此，幽期不負言。

 

Inscription On Li Ning’s Hermitage by Jia Dao

 

Few neighbours this hermitage sees,

A weedy path leads to an unkept yard.

Pondside, birds rest on moonlit trees,

A monk taps the door, soft but hard.

Athwart the bridge, a vista new,

Rocks drift, like the roots of clouds lift.

I leave now, but my words e’er true -

“I will return at a pace swift...”
