\tg\u01d4 lái cái dà nán wéi yòng Kong ming temple before be old cypress
\tBranch like green bronze root like stone
\tFrost bark slippery rain 40 spans
\tBlack colour meet sky 2000 feet
\tEmperor and minister already with time end meet
\tTree tree still be man devotion
\tCloud come air meet Wu gorge long
\tMoon out cold with snow mountain white<\/p>\n
\tRemember old road wind brocade pavilion east
\tFormer master war lord together hidden temple
\tTowering branch trunk open country ancient
\tSecluded red black door window empty
\tSpread wide coil entrenched although get earth
\tDark far lofty many violent wind
\tGive support naturally divine strength
\tUpright reason creator skill<\/p>\n
\tBig hall if upset want rafter beam
\t10,000 oxen turn head mountain weight
\tNot reveal hidden meaning world already amazed
\tWithout evade cut down who can send
\tBitter heart how avoid contain mole crickets ants
\tFragrant leaves all through reside phoenix
\tAim scholar secluded person not resent sigh
\tAlways timber big hard to use Before Kongming's shrine stands an ancient cypress,
\tIts branches are like green bronze, its roots just like stone.
\tThe frosted bark, slippery with rain, is forty spans around,
\tIts blackness blends into the sky two thousand feet above.
\tMaster and servant have each already reached their time's end,
\tThe tree, however, still remains, receiving men's devotion.
\tClouds come and bring the air of Wuxia gorge's vastness,
\tThe moon comes out, along with the cold of snowy mountain whiteness.<\/p>\n
\tI think back to the winding road, east of Brocade Pavilion,
\tWhere the military master and his lord of old share a hidden temple.
\tTowering that trunk, those branches, on the ancient plain,
\tHidden paintings, red and black, doors and windows empty.
\tSpreading wide, coiling down, though it holds the earth,
\tIn the dim and distant heights are many violent winds.
\tThat which gives it its support must be heaven's strength,
\tThe reason for its uprightness, the creator's skill.<\/p>\n
\tIf a great hall should teeter, wanting rafters and beams,
\tTen thousand oxen would turn their heads towards its mountain's weight.
\tIts potential unrevealed, the world's already amazed,
\tNothing would stop it being felled, but what man could handle it?
\tIts bitter heart cannot avoid the entry of the ants,
\tIts fragrant leaves have always given shelter to the phoenix.
\tAmbitious scholars, reclusive hermits- neither needs to sigh;
\tAlways it's the greatest timber that's hardest to put to use. <\/p>\n
