僧志南·《绝句》英译

古木阴中系短篷，杖藜扶我过桥东。

沾衣欲湿杏花雨，吹面不寒杨柳风。

A Quatrain

                       Monk Zhi Nan

I moor my small boat in the shade of ancient trees,

Crossing the bridge, cane in hand, I go where I  please.

The drizzle moistens my gown with wet  apricot,

The wind caressing my face with willows chills me  not.
