孟浩然: 过故人庄/ meng haoran: stopping at a friend's farm-house

过故人庄

孟浩然

故人具鸡黍， 邀我至田家。

绿树村边合， 青山郭外斜。

开轩面场圃， 把酒话桑麻。

待到重阳日， 还来就菊花。

　

stopping at a friend's farm-house

meng haoran

preparing me chicken and rice, old friend,

you entertain me at your farm.

we watch the green trees that circle your village

and the pale blue of outlying mountains.

we open your window over garden and field,
