阙题

刘眘虚

道由白云尽， 春与青溪长。

时有落花至， 远隋流水香。

闲门向山路， 深柳读书堂。

幽映每白日， 清辉照衣裳。

　

a poem

liu shenxu

on a road outreaching the white clouds,

by a spring outrunning the bluest river,

petals come drifting on the wind

and the brook is sweet with them all the way.

my quiet gate is a mountain-trail,

and the willow-trees about my cottage

sift on my sleeve, through the shadowy noon,

distillations of the sun.
