东郊
韦应物
吏舍终年，出郊旷清曙。
杨柳散和风，青山淡吾虑。
依丛适自憩，缘涧还复去。
微雨霭芳原，春鸠鸣何处？
乐幽心屡止，遵事迹犹遽。
终罢斯结庐，慕陶直可庶。
The Eastern Suburbs
Wei Yingwu
Confined to my office all the year round，
Now at fresh dawn for the wild skirts I’m bound.
Willow trees sway in the breezes gentle，
And green hills wash away my cares mental.
’Gainst the grove I rest myself at my ease；
Then ’long the gully to walk I don’t cease.
Misty drizzles o’erwhelm the fragrant plain；
Where come thrushes’ trills that me entertain？
My heart’s desire for peace is often checked，
For by public affairs I am still becked.
Someday later I’ll put up my cot here
And like Tao may lead a hermit’s life sheer.
