Send Off a Hermit With This One Poem
送 隐 者 一 绝
无 媒 径 路 草 萧 萧
自 古 云 林 远 市 朝。
公 道 世 间 唯 白 发
贵 人 头 上 不 曾 饶。
Song Yin Zhe Yi Jue
Wu mei jing lu cao xiao xiao
Zi gu yun lin yuan shi zhao.
Gong dao shi jian wei bai fa
Gui ren tou shang bu ceng rao.
Send Off a Hermit With This One Poem
Without a guide, footpath grasses make rustling sounds in the wind
At dawn, naturally ancient cloud forests far away from cities.
Only a just and reasonable society has people with white hair
Heads of the eminent and rich also have this white hair.
