Autumn Dwelling at Bashang

On the Ba Plain the wind and rain have settled; at evening I see wild geese flying past in frequent rows.

Fallen leaves on trees in a stranger's land; a cold lamp, a lone man in the night.

In the empty garden white dew drips; a solitary wall, a hermit monk for a neighbor.

I have lodged by the suburban gate for long—in what year shall I devote this body to the world?

灞上秋居

灞原風雨定,晚見雁行頻。

落葉他鄉樹,寒燈獨夜人。

空園白露滴,孤壁野僧鄰。

寄臥郊扉久,何年致此身?
