廬山記 4.220

4.220

十五年前還到此。池深苔蘚樹垂藤。重遊數處心傷日。不見舊時頭白僧。花有露含長夜月。殿無風動徹明燈。堪驚此去老又老。未有更來能不能。

Fifteen years ago I also arrived here; / the pond was deep with moss, and vines hung from the trees. / Roaming several spots again, my heart grieves today: / I no longer see the white-headed monk of former days. / Flowers hold dew, taking in the moon of the long night; / in the hall there is no wind to stir the lamp burning through till dawn. / Truly startling that from now on I grow older and older; / whether I will be able to come once more is yet unknown.
