Mount Lu Viewed from Xunyang at Dusk

Mount Lu Viewed from Xunyang at Dusk

by Meng Haoran

translated by Xu Yuanchong

For miles and miles I sail and float; high famed mountains are hard to seek.

By riverside I moor my boat, then I perceive the Censer Peak.

Knowing the hermit's life and way. I love his solitary dell.

His hermitage not far away, I hear at sunset but the bell.

晚泊浔阳望庐山

[唐]孟浩然

挂席几千里，名山都未逢。

泊舟浔阳郭，始见香炉峰。

尝读远公传，永怀尘外踪。

东林精舍近，日暮空闻钟。
