寒山·《家住绿岩下》英译

家住绿岩下，庭芜更不芟。

新藤垂缭绕，古石竖巉岩。

山果猕猴摘，池鱼白鹭衔。

仙书一两卷，树下读喃喃。

Reading Aloud, I Find, Leavens the Mountainside

A mossy cliff looms above my hut.

Shall I weed the garden? I demure;

From the ageless tone face, new flowering

Vines descend, coiling and pungent;

Monkeys raid the mountain groves for fruit,

And only herons stalk the stream’s speckled fish.

I? Pressed to the willow bark, I read

Immortals, scattering scrolls about me, murmuring.
