- Inscription: 種松發秀色,具是高人心。/
鑿石築茅屋,長年覆綠陰。/
白雲無意出,舒卷趨空林。/
萬籟時一寂,微風墮清音。/
此情莫可擬,此景誰能論。/
只向千峰裏,共彈五絃琴。/
桃花依綠水,不覺又春深。
甲辰花朝題于青蓮閣, 鐘山老人蕭雲從。[印] 鐘山老人 Translation: Artist's inscription, signature, and seal:
Planting pine to unveil its natural color:/
This is an idea appealing to all lofty minds./
[He] chiseled into the rocks to build a thatched cottage,/
To shade with greeneries all year around./
The white clouds drift by with no will of their own/
Rolling and stretching toward the vacant forests./
Suddenly all sounds are hushed,/
While a pure tone falls from a light breeze./
This sentiment is impossible to articulate,/
And the scene is beyond words./
To the thousands of peaks we go,/
To play a duet on the qin of five strings./
Petals of peach blossom flow along the green stream;/
Without us being aware, the spring has deepened./
