谷口书斋寄杨补阙

钱起

泉壑带茅茨， 云霞生薜帷。

竹怜新雨后， 山爱夕阳时。

闲鹭栖常早， 秋花落更迟。

家童扫萝径， 昨与故人期。

　

from my study at the mouth of the valley. a message to censor yang

qian qi

at a little grass-hut in the valley of the river,

where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,

you will love the bamboos new with rain,

and mountains tender in the sunset.

cranes drift early here to rest

and autumn flowers are slow to fade....

i have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy path

for the coming of my friend.
