English Rendering
I go sight-seeing in my sedan-chair
And stop where there's a scenic spot to see.
Burning incense attracts me to go where
I may have vegetable feast and tea.
The gentle rain stops and then starts again,
The little window looks gloomy and clean.
Shut out from sunlight by the hills,the plain
Is overspread with grass and trees so green.
When I ascend the peak'd pagoda,all
The boundless land extends before my eyes.
The Northern Peak o'erlooks the city wall;
On the Lake Zhenze float the cloudy skies.
A quiet place affords me keen delight;
In space immense I feel under no yoke.
Still looking for some more secluded sight,
I see from villages rise evening smoke.
Come back,I write down my impression deep,
Musing o'er it,I pass a sleepless night.
Nor do the devoted monks take their sleep,
They sit in meditation by lamplight.
