《桃花欲經(jīng)夏》 寒山

桃花欲經(jīng)夏，風月催不待。

訪覓漢時人，能無一個在。

朝朝花遷落，歲歲人移改。

今日揚塵處，昔時為大海。

Burial

Han Shan

Peach blossoms yearn for a summer's life,

Shivering before a slight breeze, paling

In each descent of the moon. Of all the ancients,

Not one wakes when a bough stirs.

Leaves of my book curl, and the edges brown

In the fire that livens my mother's ashes.

When I stumble my feet raise dust

Where once the greenest sea rolled.
