The body is made anew
Lying beneath your abundance
Even in my later years
Here in the mountains midst
I make no allowance
For the lattice of white
clouds
Spread across the valley
But intimately follow
The path of your brightness
As it protects and kindles
Through the mountain pass
好隨明月
憨山德清
身新放下有餘閒
垂老生涯在滿山
不許白雲輕出谷
好隨明月護柴關

This is my translation of a poem by Han Shan De Ching, a 16th century Chan monk and poet, not to be confused with the Tang poet of similar Cold Mountain name.
