Meng Haoran: Traveling to Jiangsi Guan, Wang Baiyun Has Yet to Return

Traveling to Jingsi Guan, Wang Baiyun Has Yet to Return

游 精 思 观 回 王 白 云 在 后

出 谷 未 停 午
至 家 日 已 曛。
回 瞻 下 山 路
但 见 牛 羊 群。

樵 子 暗 相 失
草 虫 寒 不 闻。
衡 门 犹 未 掩
伫 立 望 夫 君。

You Jing Si Guan Hui Wang Bai Yun Zai Hou

Chu gu wei ting wu
Zhi jia ri yi xun.
Hui zhan xia shan lu
Dan jian niu yang qun.

Qiao zi an xiang shi
Cao chong han bu wen.
Heng men you wei yan
Zhu li wang fu jun.

Traveling to Jingsi Guan, Wang Baiyun Has Yet to Return

Before noon leave to go back to my valley home
Reaching home when the sun’s light almost gone.
Looking forward to the mountain foothill roads
Only see flocks of sheep and several oxen.

Hidden woodcutters heard, but not seen
So cold cannot hear any crickets.
Doors closed, but not yet latched
Standing still for a long time gazing into the distance, you have yet to return.
