五言律詩 王維 終南山

太乙近天都, 連山接海隅。
白雲迴望合, 青靄入看無。
分野中峰變, 陰晴眾壑殊。
欲投人處宿, 隔水問樵夫。

Wang Wei MOUNT ZHONGNAN

Its massive height near the City of Heaven
Joins a thousand mountains to the corner of the sea.
Clouds, when I look back, close behind me,
Mists, when I enter them, are gone.
A central peak divides the wilds
And weather into many valleys.
...Needing a place to spend the night,
I call to a wood-cutter over the river.
