釋良琦《冬日過練川黃東溪隱居》“On a winter day, stopping by Lianchuan where Huang Dongxi lives in reclusion” by Monk Liangqi (fl. 14th century)

歲晚來尋黃處士，

小艇曉入東溪雲。

水生柳下鵝鴨喜，

日出沙頭鷗鷺分。

枸杞子香浮茗椀，

枇杷花氣襍爐熏。

卻憐清會難頻得，

明日南江又憶君。

For a visit to Recluse Huang towards the end of the year,

A light boat at dawn merges into the clouds along the East Brook.

Water rises under the willows to the delight of geese and ducks;

Sun comes out on the sands for gulls and egrets to share.

Fragrance of goji berries floats up from the tea bowls;

Breath of loquat blossoms mingles with the burner’s smoke.

Yet what a pity—such a refreshing gathering is hard to come by,

Another day on the South River, [I] shall miss you again.

Loquat blossoms in my garden, a winter treat for the bees
