Mountain Temple in the Snow

On the remoted rocky cliff, a Buddhist

Hermitage stands, lonesomely

Amidst the silence, devoid of people,

The wind-sound shatters the tranquility.

Where has Buddhist head-monk gone?

The door was closed, still.

Unswept, the snow on the high steps linger

Pure and undisturbed not trill.
