The Fisherman
The fisherman lodges by the western cliff at night,
At dawn he draws clear Xiang water and burns Chu bamboo.
The mist disperses, the sun rises—no one is seen,
A single creak of the oars, and the mountains and water turn green.
Looking back, the sky's edge descends to midstream,
Above the cliff, unthinking clouds chase one another.
漁翁
漁翁夜傍西巖宿，曉汲清湘燃楚竹。
煙銷日出不見人，欸乃一聲山水綠。
迴看天際下中流，巖上無心雲相逐。
