五言律詩 孟浩然 過故人莊

故人具雞黍, 邀我至田家。
綠樹村邊合, 青山郭外斜。
開軒面場圃, 把酒話桑麻。
待到重陽日, 還來就菊花。

Meng Haoran STOPPING AT A FRIEND'S FARM-HOUSE

Preparing me chicken and rice, old friend,
You entertain me at your farm.
We watch the green trees that circle your village
And the pale blue of outlying mountains.
We open your window over garden and field,
To talk mulberry and hemp with our cups in our hands.
...Wait till the Mountain Holiday --
I am coming again in chrysanthemum time.
