Feast at the Mountain Studio of Taoist Priest Mei
Lying in the woods, I grieve that spring is ending; I open my window—some read "I lift the curtain"—to gaze on the splendor of nature.
Suddenly I meet a messenger from the blue bird; I am invited into—some read "I enter"—the home of Chisong.
The cinnabar stove has just been lit; the immortal peach is now in bloom—some read "blossoms fall".
If youthful looks can be preserved, why should I grudge drinking the flowing rosy clouds?
宴梅道士山房
林臥愁春盡，開軒一作「褰帷」覽物華。
忽逢青鳥使，邀入一作「我」赤松家。
丹竈初開火，仙桃正落一作「發」花。
童顏若可駐，何惜醉流霞。
