Verses from the Mountains
山际见来烟
Mist comes into view along the mountain edge;
竹中窥落日
Through bamboo I glimpse the setting sun.
鸟向檐上飞
Birds fly up above the eaves;
云从窗里出
Clouds seem to drift out through the window.
Meaning
Mist rises along the mountains and sunset appears through bamboo. Birds fly over the eaves, while clouds seem to drift out of the window. A small home opens onto a wide sky.
