Jia Dao Beneath The Moon, A Monk Knocks On The Door Wooden賈島 鳥宿池邊樹 僧敲月下門 Poem by Frank Yue

TI LI NING YOU JU: "Brushing a Poem at Li Ning's Lodge"
-by JIA DAO (779 - 843)
-Translated by Frank C Yue

In quietude, a young neighbour lives next to me;
The grassy path leads to a desolate garden.
Birds built their nests by a serene pond up the tree;
Beneath the Moon, a monk knocks on the door wooden.
Divided are wilderness hues beyond the bridge;
Moving the stones would roots of the rising clouds sway.
I'm leaving for now - my friend is still out of reach;
But I promise I'll come back on a future day.


　 《题李凝幽居》 唐 • 贾岛
　
　　闲居少邻并， 草径入荒园。
　
　　鸟宿池边树， 僧敲月下门。
　
　　过桥分野色， 移石动云根。
　
　　暂去还来此， 幽期不负言。



《題李凝幽居》 唐 • 賈島
　　
閒居少鄰並， 草徑入荒園。

鳥宿池邊樹， 僧敲月下門。

過橋分野色， 移石動雲根。

暫去還來此， 幽期不負言。
