On Going to see a Taoist master A dog barksAmid the sound of water;A heavy dew stainsPeach blossoms.In these deep woods,I see several deer;At noon along the stream,I hear no temple bell.Wild bambooDivides grey clouds;Waterfalls hangFrom blue peaks.No way to tellWhere you’ve gone;Disheartened, I leanAgainst a second, now a third pine.
