閒居少鄰並，A solitary hermit lived with few neighbors

草逕入荒園。A grassy path led to a barren garden.

鳥宿池邊樹， Near the pond, birds perched on the trees.

僧敲月下門。 Under the moonlight, a monk knocked on the door.

過橋分野色， A different, primitive scene was seen over the bridge.

移石動雲根。 The mountain rocks seemed to be moving under the drifting clouds.

暫去還來此， I am leaving now, but I will keep my promise.

幽期不負言。 to live with you here in seclusion someday.
