谷口书斋寄杨补阙

钱起

泉壑带茅茨， 云霞生薜帷。

竹怜新雨后， 山爱夕阳时。

闲鹭栖常早， 秋花落更迟。

家童扫萝径， 昨与故人期。

FROM MY STUDY AT THE MOUTH OF THE VALLEY. A MESSAGE TO CENSOR¹ YANG

Qian Qi

At a little grass-hut in the valley of the river,

Where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,

You will love the bamboos new with rain,

And mountains tender in the sunset.

Cranes drift early here to rest

And autumn flowers are slow to fade....

I have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy² path

For the coming of my friend.
