秦中寄远上人-To Buddhist Priest Yuan from Chang’an

秦中寄远上人

孟浩然

一丘常欲卧,三径苦无资。

北土非吾愿,东林怀我师。

黄金燃桂尽,壮志逐年衰。

日夕凉风至,闻蝉但益悲。

To Buddhist Priest Yuan from Chang’an

Meng Haoran

I wish to live in seclusion on a small hill,

But my poverty makes fail to come true my will.

In the Northern Land not any interest I find

While your lodge like East-Tree Fane I e’er bear in mind.

What money I have is spent for living cost dear;

My lofty ambition is waning year by year.

With the sun setting, the cool wind begins to blow;

Hearing cicadas’ chirp, I feel the more sorrow!
