30 魚玄機 訪趙鍊師不遇 Visiting Master Zhao and Not Finding Him
何處同仙侶。
青衣獨在家。
暖爐留煮藥。
鄰院為煎茶。
畫壁燈光暗。
幡竿日影斜。
殷勤重回首。
牆外數枝花。

I wanted to be with someone of spiritual refinement
I find his house is empty, only the maid is home
his crucible's still warm from cooking up herb medicines
outside in the courtyard tea leaves are still simmering
a few dim lamps next to the painted walls
a long shadow by the signal pole that faces the setting sun
as I leave I keep turning around hoping to find he's come back—
just a few blooming branches brushing the outside walls.
