酬张少府

王维

晚年惟好静， 万事不关心。

自顾无长策， 空知返旧林。

松风吹解带， 山月照弹琴。

君问穷通理， 渔歌入浦深。

　

answering vice-prefect zhang

wang wei

as the years go by, give me but peace,

freedom from ten thousand matters.

i ask myself and always answer:

what can be better than coming home?

a wind from the pine-trees blows my sash,
