Spring Dawn over the Elixir Terrace
Painted for Boyong by Tianyou [Lu Guang].
For ten years I wandered, homeless and away from worldly entanglements;
Now, returning home by the river, I see things differently from most others.
Jade like vapor floating in the sky, it is spring but no rain;
Elixir rays emitted from a well turn into clouds at dawn.
Standing in the wind I lean on my dragon staff;
I have long missed hearing your mouth-organ music by moonlight.
I am happy to be with the venerable immortal, and away from the military strategists;
We sit looking at paintings and talk about literature.[1]
《丹臺春曉圖》
天游為伯顒畫。
十年客邸絕塵紛，江上歸來思不羣。
玉氣浮空春不雨，丹光出井曉成雲。
風前龍杖時堪倚，月下鸞笙久不聞。
幸對仙翁遠孫子，坐中觀畫又論文。
