《游長寧公主流杯池·其一》 上官婉兒
策杖臨霞岫,危步下霜蹊。
志逐深山靜,途隨曲澗迷。
漸覺心神逸,俄看云霧低。
莫怪人題樹,只為賞幽棲。

I
Shangguan Wan'er
Propped on my staff, I looked over wispy peaks,
Then with hazardous pace descended frosty trails.
My goals grew serene the deeper I went in the hills,
I strayed on the path that bent with the mountain stream.
Slowly I sensed detachment in my soul,
And noticed at once how fogs were sinking low.
Be not dismayed I wrote upon that tree
It was because I cherished this hidden rest.
