五言律詩 錢起 谷口書齋寄楊補闕

泉壑帶茅茨, 雲霞生薜帷。
竹憐新雨後, 山愛夕陽時。
閒鷺棲常早, 秋花落更遲。
家童掃蘿徑, 昨與故人期。

Qian Qi FROM MY STUDY AT THE MOUTH OF THE VALLEY.
A MESSAGE TO CENSOR YANG

At a little grass-hut in the valley of the river,
Where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,
You will love the bamboos new with rain,
And mountains tender in the sunset.
Cranes drift early here to rest
And autumn flowers are slow to fade....
I have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy path
For the coming of my friend.
