王维: 渭川田家/ wang wei: a farm-house on the wei river

渭川田家

王维

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。

　

a farm-house on the wei river

wang wei

in the slant of the sun on the country-side,

cattle and sheep trail home along the lane;

and a rugged old man in a thatch door

leans on a staff and thinks of his son, the herdboy.
