Fayun Temple
法 云 寺
不 到 法 云 久
秋 高 初 一 来。
厨 供 菰 白 美
池 蘸 水 红 开。
桥 畔 逢 游 衲
云 边 数 过 桅。
同 游 恨 归 早
珍 重 约 寻 梅。
Fa Yun Si
Bu dao fa yun jiu
Qiu gao chu yi lai.
Chu gong gu bai mei
Chi zhan shui hong kai.
Qiao pan feng you na
Yun bian shu guo wei.
Tong you hen gui zao
Zhen chong yue xun mei.
Fayun Temple
For a long time have not arrived here at Fayun
One comes to this place of advancement in the autumn years.
Kitchen offerings of beautiful white wild rice stems
Dips into the pond make an opening of the bright pink water-plant flowers.
At the bridge abutment, meet travelers wearing the Buddhist vestments
Below cloud edges, numerous masts float by.
Deep regrets and remorse for having to travel back together so early
Value highly our engagements to search for the plum blossoms.
