中文原文﹕
一丘嘗欲臥，
三徑苦無資。
北土非吾願，
東林懷我師。
黃金燃桂盡，
壯志逐年衰。
日夕涼風至，
聞蟬但益悲。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
I have long hoped to retreat to somewhere in the woods,
Yet I have not the means to even a clearing for a couple of paths make.
It is not my intent to stay here in the north,
I often think of you, Master, and company in the eastern state.
To survive here consumes gold at the rate of firewood,
In chasing ideals I have my youth year after year chased away.
At dusk and at dawn come northerlies,
In the wind, evocative of sorrow and grief is the singing of cicadas that breaks.
