五言古詩 李白 下終南山過斛斯山人宿置酒

暮從碧山下, 山月隨人歸;
卻顧所來徑, 蒼蒼橫翠微。
相攜及田家, 童稚開荊扉;
綠竹入幽徑, 青蘿拂行衣。
歡言得所憩, 美酒聊共揮;
長歌吟松風, 曲盡河星稀。
我醉君復樂, 陶然共忘機。

Li Bai DOWN ZHONGNAN MOUNTAIN
TO THE KIND PILLOW AND BOWL OF HUSI

Down the blue mountain in the evening,
Moonlight was my homeward escort.
Looking back, I saw my path
Lie in levels of deep shadow....
I was passing the farm-house of a friend,
When his children called from a gate of thorn
And led me twining through jade bamboos
Where green vines caught and held my clothes.
And I was glad of a chance to rest
And glad of a chance to drink with my friend....
We sang to the tune of the wind in the pines;
And we finished our songs as the stars went down,
When, I being drunk and my friend more than happy,
Between us we forgot the world.
