A Fisherman 渔翁

[唐] 柳宗元（许渊冲译）

Under western cliff a fisherman passes the night;

At dawn he makes bamboo fire to boil water clean.

Mist cleans 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。
