A Fisherman
by Liu Zongyuan
translated by Xu Yuanchong
Under western cliff a fisherman passes the night;
At dawn he makes bamboo fire to boil water clean.
Mist clears off at sunrise but there's no man in sight;
Only the fisherman's song turns hill and rill green.
He goes down mid-stream and turns to look on the sky.
What does he see but clouds freely wafting on high.
渔翁
[唐]柳宗元
渔翁夜傍西岩宿，晓汲清湘燃楚竹。
烟销日出不见人，欸乃一声山水绿。
回看天际下中流，岩上无心云相逐。
