山中何太冷

山中何太冷？自古非今年；
沓嶂恒凝雪，幽林每吐烟．
草生芒种后，叶落立秋前；
此有沈迷客，窥窥不见天．

In the mountains it's cold.
Always been cold, not just this year.
Jagged scarps forever snowed in
Woods in the dark ravines spitting mist.
Grass is still sprouting at the end of June,
Leaves begin to fall in early August.
And here I am, high on mountains,
Peering and peering, but I can't even see the sky.
