七言古诗

渔翁
柳宗元
渔翁夜傍西岩宿,晓汲清湘然楚竹。
烟销日出不见人, 乃一声山水绿。
回看天际下中流,岩上无心云相逐。
An Old Fisherman
Liu Zongyuan
An old fisherman anchors at the West Mount for the night.
At dawn he draws the Xiang water and lights a bamboo fire.
The mists dispersed and the sun rising, no man comes in sight.
With the first oar’s creak, hills and waters seem green to acquire.
Sailing down mid-stream, he turns to see the sky at its full height,
Where over the mount, after nothing drifting clouds aspire.
