归嵩山作

王维

清川带长薄， 车马去闲闲。

流水如有意， 暮禽相与还。

荒城临古渡， 落日满秋山。

迢递嵩高下， 归来且闭关。

　

bound home to mount song

wang wei

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.
