性本拙衣食 

棲遁慕昔賢 
自耕幽谷底 
或嘯白雲巓 
釆藥隋麇鹿 
煎茶汲石泉 
逍遥吾願足 
時復仰蒼天
By nature clumsy about clothing, food,
I perch in reclusion, admiring ancient sages.
I plow myself bottoms of hidden valleys,
Or whistle on peaks above white clouds.
Gathering herbs, I follow the deer;
Brewing tea draw water from rocky streams.
Wandering at leisure, fully content,
Often gazing up again at blue sky.
