Shān Jū Qiū Míng:
"Mountain Lodge at Autumn Nightfall"
- by Wang Wei(701-761)
- Translated by Frank C Yue


Serene hills just after the rain -

The Autumn e'ening air's crisp again.

The bright Moon among the pines spies;

O'er rocks the clear spring water slides.


Sounds o' returning wash'r-girls heard through bamboos;

Come fishing boats -the lotus, pushing through.

Let the Spring fragrances be gone -

My Prince o' Friends may wish to stay on!


《山居秋暝》 唐‧王維

空山新雨後，天氣晚來秋。

明月松間照，清泉石上流。

竹喧歸浣女，蓮動下漁舟。

隨意春芳歇，王孫自可留。
