yí jiā suī dài guō,

jìn zhǒng lí biān jú,

kòu mén wú quǎn fèi,

bào dào shān zhōng qù,

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.
