明雲收盡
芳草長堤
驚起沙鳥
蝶時時舞
魚戲蓮葉
返照波間
隱生夢浮
僅此而已
As bright clouds loom far away,
Startled birds rise from the sand.
On fragrant grass along the levee
Butterflies ceaselessly dance,
While fish frolic mid the lotus pads
Through light reflected in the ripples.
A hermit’s life is a floating reverie.
There’s nothing more to say.
