At Tan Xi, Looking For an Old Friend
檀 溪 寻 故 人
华 伴 成 龙 竹
池 分 跃 马 溪。
田 园 人 不 见
疑 向 武 陵 迷。
Tan Xi Xun Gu Ren
Hua ban cheng long zhu
Chi fen yue ma xi.
Tian yuan ren bu jian
Yi xiang wu ling mi.
At Tan Xi, Looking For an Old Friend
Flowers grow dragon-like, halfway up the bamboo
Where the pond divides, my horse jumps over the small stream.
No one has seen you in your fields and gardens
Maybe you have gone into hiding at Wuling.
