寄全椒山中道士
今朝郡齋冷， 忽念山中客；
澗底束荊薪， 歸來煮白石。
欲持一瓢酒， 遠慰風雨夕；
落葉滿空山， 何處尋行跡。

A POEM TO A TAOIST HERMIT
CHUANJIAO MOUNTAIN
My office has grown cold today;
And I suddenly think of my mountain friend
Gathering firewood down in the valley
Or boiling white stones for potatoes in his hut….
I wish I might take him a cup of wine
To cheer him through the evening storm;
But in fallen leaves that have heaped the bare slopes,
How should I ever find his footprints!
