賈島:松下問童子 言師採藥去 Beneath the pine, I asked of the child.

【寻隐者不遇】 唐 贾岛

     松下问童子,言师采药去。
 

     只在此山中,云深不知处。 
  

        【尋隱者不遇】  唐 賈島
      
         松下問童子     言師採藥去
         

         只在此山中     雲深不知處
 

Xún Yǐn Zhě Bù Yù:        
"Failing to Find the Hermit" 
-- by JIA DAO (779-843)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue 

Beneath the pine, I asked of the child.
"My master's gone for herbs grown wild;
He should just be in the mountain there,
Deep, way deep in the clouds somewhere."
