五言律詩
僧皎然
尋陸鴻漸不遇
移家雖帶郭， 野徑入桑麻。
近種籬邊菊， 秋來未著花。
扣門無犬吠， 欲去問西家。
報到山中去， 歸來每日斜。

NOT FINDING LU HONGXIAN AT HOME
To find you， moved beyond the city，
A wide path led me， by mulberry and hemp，
To a new-set hedge of chrysanthemums ——
Not yet blooming although autumn had come.
……I knocked； no answer， not even a dog.
I waited to ask your western neighbour；
But he told me that daily you climb the mountain，
Never returning until sunset.
