Give This to Boqin, Cousin Ziwen, and Nephew Youchun About Meeting a Group of Children Along the Path Up to the Daoist Temple on Mt. Nanxi
与 伯 勤 子 文 幼 楚 同 登 南 溪 奇 观 戏 道 傍 群 儿
朦 松 睡 眼 熨 谁 开
曳 杖 缘 溪 啄 紫 苔。
偶 见 群 儿 聊 与 戏
布 衫 青 底 捉 将 来。
Yu Bo Zin Zi Wen You Chu Tong Deng Nan Xi Qi Guan Xi Dao Bang Qun Er
Meng song shui yan yun shei kai
Ye zhang yuan xi zhuo zi tai.
Ou jian qun er liao you xi
Bu shan qing di zhuo jiang lai.

Misty pine trees, eyes so tired and sleepy I cannot open them
Brought along my cane to peck like birds, working my way through the small stream red moss.
Group of children playing hide-and-seek
I grabbed one of them by their unlined blue-green shirt.
