On Zhulinsi
        Zhu Fang 750-790

The months and years compel our lives
here the mist and clouds abound
how many times will I again know
the welcome of Zhulin Temple�
 
Tí Zhúlinsì
Zhū Fàng 750-790

Suìyuè rú jiān cù,
Yānxiá cǐdì duō.
Yīnqín Zhúlínsì,
Gèng de jǐ huí guò.

Notes:
An alternate translation by Dongbo 東波:

Fleeing years propel us on,
While here misty vapors flouish.
I crave Zhulinsi's welcome,
Exquisite each time I return.
