五言律詩
常建
題破山寺后禪院
清晨入古寺， 初日照高林。
曲徑通幽處， 禪房花木深。
山光悅鳥性， 潭影空人心。
萬籟此俱寂， 惟余鐘磬音。

A BUDDHIST RETREAT BEHIND BROKEN-MOUNTAIN TEMPLE
In the pure morning， near the old temple，
Where early sunlight points the tree-tops，
My path has wound， through a sheltered hollow
Of boughs and flowers， to a Buddhist retreat.
Here birds are alive with mountain-light，
And the mind of man touches peace in a pool，
And a thousand sounds are quieted
By the breathing of a temple-bell.
