曩歲讀隱書,妄意慕陶葛。
芝房及乳石,日夜躬採掇。
飛舉固未能,死籍或可脫。
那知事大謬,髮齒將禿豁。
神僊豈棄汝,正坐自迂闊。
餘年尚努力,勿待燭見跋。
曩歲讀隱書,妄意慕陶葛。
芝房及乳石,日夜躬採掇。
飛舉固未能,死籍或可脫。

神僊豈棄汝,正坐自迂闊。
餘年尚努力,勿待燭見跋。
往年我曾閱讀隱逸之書,
狂妄地仰慕陶淵明、葛洪那樣的仙人。
尋找靈芝仙草和石鐘乳之類的丹藥,
日夜親自去採集。
飛昇成仙固然無法實現,
但或許能脫離死籍得以長生。
哪知道事情大錯特錯,
頭髮牙齒都將脫落稀疏。
神仙怎麼會拋棄你呢?
正是因為你自己的迂腐不切實際。
剩餘的歲月還要努力,
不要等到蠟燭燒盡(生命將終)時才醒悟。
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.
通過追慕先賢完成自我認同的構建與精神寄託。
詩人追憶早年閱讀隱逸之書,嚮往陶淵明、葛洪般的超脫生活。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
