A poem for a Taoist priest
Author: Wei (Tang Dynasty)
It's very cold in the county today, and I suddenly think of people who live in seclusion in the mountains. You must collect firewood at Jiandi and cook some poor food when you come back.
I want to see you with a bottle of wine, so that you can get some comfort at night. But autumn leaves are full of empty mountains. Where can you find your footprints?

It's very cold in the county town today, and I suddenly think of people who live in seclusion in the mountains.
Be sure to burn firewood at the bottom of the ravine and cook something bitter when you come back.
I want to take a bottle of wine to see you, so that you can get some comfort in the stormy night.
But autumn leaves fall all over the empty mountains, where can I find your footprints?
