寄全椒山中道士
韦应物
今朝郡斋冷， 忽念山中客。
涧底束荆薪， 归来煮白石。
欲持一瓢酒， 远慰风雨夕。
落叶满空山， 何处寻行迹。
a poem to a taoist hermit chuanjiao mountain
wei yingwu
my office has grown cold today;
and i suddenly think of my mountain friend
gathering firewood down in the valley
or boiling white stones for potatoes in his hut….
i wish i might take him a cup of wine
to cheer him through the evening storm;
but in fallen leaves that have heaped the bare slopes,
how should i ever find his footprints!
