七言律诗

韩翃

同题仙游观

仙台初见五城楼， 风物凄凄宿雨收。

山色遥连秦树晚， 砧声近报汉宫秋。

疏松影落空坛静， 细草香闲小洞幽。

何用别寻方外去? 人间亦自有丹丘。

INSCRIBED IN THE TEMPLE OF THE WANDERING GENIE

I face, high over this enchanted lodge, the Court of the Five Cities of Heaven,

And I see a countryside blue and still, after the long rain.

The distant peaks and trees of Qin merge into twilight,

And Had Palace washing-stones make their autumnal echoes.

Thin pine-shadows brush the outdoor pulpit,

And grasses blow their fragrance into my little cave.

...Who need be craving a world beyond this one?

Here, among men, are the Purple Hills
