中歲頗好道 晚家南山陲
興來每獨往 勝事空自知
行到水窮處 坐看雲起時
偶然值林叟 談笑無還期
Retirement at South Hill 江紹倫譯
I became at mid-life a true believer of Dao
I retire to settle at the foot of South Hill when old
Here I loiter at will with not much in mind
And review in solitude the good deeds I’ve left behind
I saunter to where the mountain stream no longer flows
I sit waiting to watch rising clouds afloat
By chance I meet a firewood gatherer as I roam
We chat and cheer forgetting ’tis time to return home
