### 撥草尋牛

> Seeking the Ox in the Grass

山迷迷處水迷迷，撥草瞻風已覺遲，深慕牛兒難覓跡，幾回惆悵過前溪。

> In the haze of mountains and mist of waters, Seeking through the grass, watching the wind—already I'm too late. Deeply longing for the ox, its traces are hard to find, How many times, in sorrow, have I crossed the stream ahead.
