Passing the Temple

by Wang Wei

Wang Wei

Tonight he walks with his light stick,
Stops by the Tiger Stream's source,
Asks us to listen to the mountain sound,
Goes home again by clear waters.
Endless blossoms in the stillness.
Bird-cries deep in the valleys.
Now he'll sit in empty hills.
In pine-winds, feel the touch of autumn.
