Sòng Líng Chè Shàng Rén 送灵澈上人 Farewell to Monk Lingche

by 刘长卿(Liú Chángqīng)

cāng cāng zhú lín sì, yǎo yǎo zhōng shēng wǎn.

苍苍竹林寺，杳杳钟声晚。

Deep and green is the Bamboo Forest Temple; faint and distant, the evening bell tolls.

hè lì dài xī yáng, qīng shān dú guī yuǎn.

荷笠带夕阳，青山独归远。

Shouldering a bamboo hat, draped in the setting sun, you return alone to the distant green mountains.
