題鶴林寺僧舍 – （唐）李涉
終日昏昏醉夢間，
忽聞春盡強登山。
因過竹院逢僧話，
偷得浮生半日閒。
A Quatrain by Li She
(Inscription on the Wall of He-Lin Temple)
Amidst drunken dreams I idle my life away,
I suade myself to climb the mountain, as all say
“Spring will soon fade.” Passing by a monk’s bamboo yard,
His talk helps me at once gain half a sober day.
Tr. Ziyuzile
