O QIU QIAN BOUND hOME

    AFtER FAILING IN AN EXAMINAtION

    In a s;

    t together....

    So you, a man of tern mountains,

    Gave up your life of picking herbs

    And came all to te of Gold --

    But you found your devotion unavailing.

    ...to spend thern rivers,

    You ies.

    I pour you t out from tal --

    Soon I s behind here by my bosomfriend.

    In your sail-boat of s cinnamon-wood

    You  again toch door,

    Led along by distant trees

    to a sunset sown.

    ... to fail,

    Doubt not t some of us can hear high music.

    五言古诗

    王维

    青溪

    言入黄花川， 每逐青溪水；

    随山将万转， 趣途无百里。

    声喧乱石中， 色静深松里；

    漾漾泛菱荇， 澄澄映葭苇。

    我心素已闲， 清川澹如此。

    请留盘石上， 垂钓将已矣！

    A GREEN StREAM

    I he River of Yellow Flowers,

    Borne by tream,

    Rounding ten turns tains

    On a journey of less ty miles....

    Rapids hum over heaped rocks;

    But hick pines,

    t s-horns

    And weeds are lushe banks.

    ...Down in my  I have always been as pure

    As ter is....

    Oo remain on a broad flat rock

    And to cast a fishing-line forever!

    五言古诗

    王维

    渭川田家

    斜光照墟落， 穷巷牛羊归。

    野老念牧童， 倚杖候荆扉。

    雉雊麦苗秀， 蚕眠桑叶稀。

    田夫荷锄立， 相见语依依。

    即此羡闲逸， 怅然吟式微。
