安 陆 白 兆 山 桃 花 岩 寄 刘 侍 御 绾
云 卧 三 十 年
好 闲 复 爱 仙。
蓬 壶 虽 冥 绝
鸾 鹤 心 悠 然。
归 来 桃 花 岩
得 憩 云 窗 眠。
对 岭 人 共 语
饮 潭 猿 相 连。
时 升 翠 微 上
邈 若 罗 浮 颠。
两 岑 抱 东 壑
一 嶂 横 西 天。
树 杂 日 易 隐
崖 倾 月 难 圆。
芳 草 换 野 色
飞 萝 摇 春 烟。
入 远 构 石 室
选 幽 开 山 田。
独 此 林 下 意
香 无 区 中 缘。
永 辞 霜 台 客
千 载 方 来 旋。

An Lu, Bai Zhao Mountains, Peach Blossom Cliffs, Send to Imperial Inspector Mr. Liu
Want to lie down with the clouds for thirty years
Ease into idleness, repeatedly cherish the immortals.
Although Penglai pots hidden in darkness
Like the luan and cranes, I wish to be easy and carefree.
Go back to the Peach Blossom cliffs
Need to rest, sleep under cloud windows.
Together talk with people in the mountain ranges
Join monkeys drinking at deep pools.
Sometimes climb above the green peaks
Faraway like the Luofu mountain summit.
Two tall hills embrace eastern valleys and pools
One screen-like mountain peak on the western horizon.
Various trees easily hide the sun
Difficult to see the round moon around slanted crags.
Uncultivated fragrant grasses change colors
Fluttering vines sway in the spring mists.
Of distant caves, like rock built rooms
Choose instead the serene and open fields and mountains.
Wish this forest to be my secluded spot
A faraway region, not yet destiny to find a place away from human troubles.
For all time do not want to meet frosty imperial visitors
Some spend one thousand years before returning to a place like this.
