Li Bai: Visit Daitian Mountain, Did Not Meet the Daoist Scholar

Visit Daitian Mountain, Did Not Meet the Daoist Scholar

访 戴 天 山 道 士 不 遇

犬 吠 水 声 中
桃 花 带 露 浓。
树 深 时 见 鹿
溪 午 不 闻 钟。

野 竹 分 青 霭
飞 泉 挂 碧 峰。
无 人 知 所 去
愁 倚 二 三 松。

Fang Dai Tian Shan Dao Shi Bu Yu

Quan fei shui sheng zhong
Tao hua dai lu nong.
Shu shen shi jian lu
Xi wu bu wen zhong.

Ye zhu fen qing ai
Fei quan gua bi feng.
Wu ren zhi suo qu
Chou yi er san song.

Visit Daitian Mountain, Did Not Meet the Daoist Scholar

Barking dogs amid the water sounds
Peach blossoms contain heavy dew.
Deep forest, the season to see deer
Along the stream at noon, do not hear temple bells.

Wild bamboo separates a blue mist
Waterfalls suspended from green mountain peaks.
Without people, don’t know where he is
Sadly lean against two or three different pine trees.
