Final Two Lines of "Seeking the Hermit But No Meeting" Poem in Chinese

Now we have learned all the words in these two lines of the poem. Let's write them. Zhi zai ci shan (this mountain) zhong (inside) yun (the cloud) shen (deep or thick) bu (not, no) zhi (to know) chu (the place). See, these are the last two lines of the poem. "Zhi zai ci shan zhong" means "the little boy only knows that his master is on the inside this mountain." So "zhi" here - only - can either say, "only the little boy knows that - something - that his master is inside the mountain." But since the clouds are really thick, so the boy didn't know where the place on earth that his master is in. So, "zhi zai ci shan zhong" means "the boy only knows that master is inside this mountain," but yun chen, yun chen, the cloud is thick. Bu zhi chu. Since the mountain is surrounded of those thick clouds, so the boy really didn't know where the master is.
