Staying at Wang Changling's Hermitage

The deep clear stream—unfathomable—

The hermit's place has only a lone cloud.

Among the pine boughs a faint moon shows,

Its pure light still shines for you.

Thatched pavilion holds the flowers' shadows at rest,

The herb garden nurtures patterns of moss.

I too shall leave the world behind,

To join the phoenix and cranes on West Mountain.

宿王昌齡隱居

清溪深不測一作「極」,隱處唯孤雲。

松際露微月,清光猶爲君。

茅亭宿花影,藥院滋苔紋。

余亦謝時去,西山鸞鶴羣。
