曩岁读隐书,妄意慕陶葛。
芝房及乳石,日夜躬采掇。
飞举固未能,死籍或可脱。
那知事大谬,发齿将秃豁。
神仙岂弃汝,正坐自迂阔。
余年尚努力,勿待烛见跋。

往年我曾阅读隐逸之书,
狂妄地仰慕陶渊明、葛洪那样的仙人。
寻找灵芝仙草和石钟乳之类的丹药,
日夜亲自去采集。
飞升成仙固然无法实现,
但或许能脱离死籍得以长生。
哪知道事情大错特错,
头发牙齿都将脱落稀疏。
神仙怎么会抛弃你呢?
正是因为你自己的迂腐不切实际。
剩余的岁月还要努力,
不要等到蜡烛烧尽(生命将终)时才醒悟。
In past years I read books of seclusion,
Foolishly aspiring to be like Tao or Ge.
Searching for magic mushrooms and mineral drugs,
I gathered them day and night with my own hands.
Soaring aloft was certainly beyond my reach,
Yet perhaps I could escape the register of death.
Who knew affairs would turn so utterly wrong,
As my hair and teeth began to fall and decay.
Would the immortals really abandon you?
It's only because of your own pedantic ways.
The years I have left, I must still strive,
Do not wait until the candle burns to its end.
通过追慕先贤完成自我认同的构建与精神寄托。
诗人追忆早年阅读隐逸之书,向往陶渊明、葛洪般的超脱生活。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
