祖永
别业居幽处,
到来生隐心。
南山当户牖,
沣水映园林。
屋覆经冬雪,
庭昏未夕阴。
寥寥人境外,
闲坐听春禽。
arrive come produce retired mind
south mountain fronts gate aperture
Feng water reflect garden grove
bamboo bending passes winter snow
hall gloom notyet night dark
solitary solitary man region beyond
leisurely sit listen spring birds
Seeking holiday I come,
Cherishing while none intrude
Thoughts in love with solitude,
Mountain scenery fronts my door
And the Feng flows on before.
In its waters deep I see
Images of house and tree.
Downward bending each bamboo
Still looks fresh the winter through.
Bound my darkened cottage home
Long ere nightfall all is gloom.
Far from men in this retreat
Freed from busy cares
I sit Listening to the birds that sing
Hymns of welcome to the spring.

Paraphrastic rendering
To a lonely country homeSeeking holiday I come,
Cherishing while none intrude
Thoughts in love with solitude,
Mountain scenery fronts my door
And the Feng flows on before.
In its waters deep I see
Images of house and tree.
Downward bending each bamboo
Still looks fresh the winter through.
Bound my darkened cottage home
Long ere nightfall all is gloom.
Far from men in this retreat
Freed from busy cares
I sit Listening to the birds that sing
Hymns of welcome to the spring.

I saw this poem in a book of Chinese philology and phonology, the author J. Edkins mistook it as “poem of Su of the Tang dynasty” (苏东坡?). Su is a close friend of Zu Yong, the author of this peom.Introduction to the study of the Chinese characters. Page 36-38, By J. Edkins, Published 1876. Ebook at Openlibrary website.
