And my ears feel pure with the sound of wind and water
Nearly all the woodsmen have reached home,
Birds have settled on their perches in the quiet mist....
And still -- because you promised -- I am waiting for you, waiting,
Playing lute under a wayside vine.

五言古诗
王昌龄
同从弟南斋玩月忆山阴崔少府
高卧南斋时, 开帷月初吐;
清辉淡水木, 演漾在窗户。
苒苒几盈虚? 澄澄变今古。
美人清江畔, 是夜越吟苦。
千里其如何? 微风吹兰杜。

WITH MY BROTHER AT THE SOUTH STUDY
THINKING IN THE MOONLIGHT OF VICE-PREFECT
CUI IN SHANYIN
Lying on a high seat in the south study,
We have lifted the curtain-and we see the rising moon
Brighten with pure light the water and the grove
And flow like a wave on our window and our door.
It will move through the cycle, full moon and then crescent again,
Calmly, beyond our wisdom, altering new to old.
...Our chosen one, our friend, is now by a limpid river --
Singing, perhaps, a plaintive eastern song.
He is far, far away from us, three hundred miles away.
And yet a breath of orchids comes along the wind.

五言古诗
邱为
寻西山隐者不遇
绝顶一茅茨, 直上三十里;
扣关无僮仆, 窥室惟案几。
若非巾柴车? 应是钓秋水。
差池不相见, 黾勉空仰止。
草色新雨中, 松声晚窗里;
及兹契幽绝, 自足荡心耳。
虽无宾主意, 颇得清净理。
兴尽方下山, 何必待之子。
