Not know incense store temple <br />Few enter cloud peaks <br />Ancient trees no person path <br />Deep hills what place bell <br />Spring sound choke sheer rock <br />Sun colour cold green pines <br />Dusk empty pool bend <br />Peace meditation control fierce dragon <br /> <br /> <br />I did not know the incense storing temple, <br />I walked a few miles into the clouded peaks. <br />No man on the path between the ancient trees, <br />A bell rang somewhere deep among the hills. <br />A spring sounded choked, running down steep rocks, <br />The green pines chilled the sunlight's coloured rays. <br />Come dusk, at the bend of a deserted pool, <br />Through meditation I controlled passion's dragon.<br /><br />Wang Wei<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/stopping-at-incense-storing-temple/
