唐詩三百首英譯 王維：歸嵩山作

五言律詩

王維

歸嵩山作

清川帶長薄， 車馬去閑閑。

流水如有意， 暮禽相與還。

荒城臨古渡， 落日滿鞦山。

迢遞嵩高下， 歸來且閉關。

Five-character-regular-verse

Wang Wei

BOUND HOME TO MOUNT SONG

The limpid river， past its bushes

Running slowly as my chariot，

Becomes a fellow voyager

Returning home with the evening birds.

A ruined city-wall overtops an old ferry，

Autumn sunset floods the peaks.

……Far away， beside Mount Song，

I shall close my door and be at peace.
