Tiger Stream from Tiger Stream Bridge
Tiger Stream Bridge

He Shaoqi
Before my footsteps have reached the place
my heart is already there;
The spirit of the whole mountain
beckons me from all sides.
Solitary, strange, ancient and rare
a universe gathered together.
But here only the tiger stream
and the bridge over the stream.
Would I might see the old Chan master
riding the tiger across!
The mountain moon is low now
as large as a bamboo hat;
A spring gurgles, bubbling and splashing
trees break up the light.
Startled
four or five monkeys
fall from the branches.

Hé Shàoqí
Zújì wèi dào xīn xiān chāo,
Yī shān língqì fēn xiāng zhāo.
Yōu qí gǔ yì wànlài xī,
Wéiyǒu hú xīxī shàng qiáo.
Yè jiān chánshī qí hǔ guò,
Shānyuè dī shí lìzi dà.
Quán shēng bèngfēi shù guāng pò,
Jīng duò xuán yuán sìwǔgè.
