On Zhang’s Hermitage【0】
I
Without companion in spring mountains I came alone seeking you,
the thunk【1】 of axes hewing wood, the mountains grew still more secluded【2】.
In lingering chill on the road by a torrent【3】 I passed through ice and snow,
with sinking sunlight on Stonegate Mountain, I reached your wooded hill.
Not coveting【4】, by night I recognized the aura【5】 of silver and gold,
far from harm, at dawn I looked on the deer roaming.
Following my whim【6】 to the distance, I lose thought of service and retirement【7】,
facing you, it seems you are an empty boat adrift【8】.
II
This gentleman meets me from time to time,
invited, I stay on impulse【9】 late in the day.
A pool under clearing skies, sturgeon【10】 abound【11】,
among spring plants the deer cry out.
He particularly urges Du’s ale【12】 on me,
for Zhang’s pears do not seek elsewhere.
Perilous【13】, the mountain road to the village ahead,
yet going home drunk, I am always free of worries.
