宿王昌龄隐居

常建

清溪深不测， 隐处唯孤云。

松际露微月， 清光犹为君。

茅亭宿花影， 药院滋苔纹。

余亦谢时去， 西山鸾鹤群。

AT WANG CHANGLIN' S RETREAT

Chang Jian

Here, beside a clear deep lake,

You live accompanied by clouds;

Or soft through the pine the moon arrives

To be your own pure-hearted friend.

You rest under thatch¹ in the shadow of your flowers,

Your dewy herbs flourish in their bed of moss².

Let me leave the world. Let me alight, like you,

On your western mountain with phoenixes³ and cranes.
