Matching the Rhymes of Chief Minister Yi (相國), Who Sent Further Answering Poems on the Eight Views of Ganzhou (虔州) — Evening Bell from a Mist-Veiled Temple次韻李相國復和虔州八景詩來贈 煙寺暮鍾
Dongguk Isangguk Jip (Collected Works of Minister Yi of the Eastern Country) Latter Collection, Book 6 The collected writings of Yi Gyubo of Goryeo, gathered and cut in woodblock by his son Yi Ham in 1241 and revised and enlarged by his grandson Yi Ikbae in 1251. It holds poems and rhapsodies, memorials and reports sent up to the king, records written for temples and pagodas, stele and tomb inscriptions, letters and prefaces, and the state letters that passed to and from the Mongols during the invasions. The Lay of King Dongmyeong, which sings the founder of Goguryeo, stands in volume 3 of the first collection, and the daily life of a man who called himself the White Cloud Layman — with his wine, his zither and his verse — fills the later collection. The book closes with the last poem he wrote as his eyes failed and he laid down the brush, and with the dirge and tomb inscription others made for him after his death.
天陰天霽與炎寒。一樣聲來暮樹間。不有孤煙常作候。也應人與此鍾閑。
Whether the sky be cloudy or clear, hot or cold, one unchanging sound comes through the darkening trees. If the lonely smoke did not always tell the hour, people too might be at leisure along with this bell.
