Went to See a Daoist Priest on Sky-Capped Mountain But Missed Him

Li Bo 699-762 A dog barks          amidst the sound of water; Peach blossoms blush          in the morning dew. Deep in the woods          every now and then I see a deer; Noon comes to the stream          but I hear no bell. Wild bamboo          cuts through the blue mist; A gushing cascade          hangs over the green peak. No one knows          where he has gone. Saddened         I lean against a pine tree                 then another                         then another.

Lǐ Bó 699-762 Quǎnfèi shuǐshēng zhong, Táohuā dài lù nóng. Shù shēn shí jiàn lù, Xī wǔ bù wén zhōng. Yě zhú fēn qīng ǎi, Fēi quǎn guà bì fēng. Wú rén zhī suǒ qù, Chóu yǐ liǎn sān sōng.
