死別已吞聲， 生別常惻惻。
From a pot of wine among the flowers
What good, when you are dead and gone.
田夫荷鋤立， 相見語依依。
漾漾泛菱荇， 澄澄映葭葦。
合昏尚知時， 鴛鴦不獨宿；
...Henceforth I put my official hat aside.
送綦毋潛落第還鄉
My heart has been heavy all day long
And a mist that rises, hovering soft,
The next day exalted, everyone praising her.
行當浮桂棹， 未幾拂荊扉。
To be your own pure-hearted friend.
Resting on the sand till the ferry returns;
The mountain-light suddenly fails in the west,
Wang Wei
日出霧露余， 青松如膏沐。
自慚居處崇， 未睹斯民康。

Calmly, beyond our wisdom, altering new to old.
扣關無僮僕， 窺室惟案幾。
By river and lake-the storms, the wrecks,
...I woke, and the low moons glimmer on a rafter

You have become my meditation --
Because I am always thinking of you.
Outside are insignia, shown in state;
人生不相見， 動如參与商，

The wind brings me odours of lotuses,
Silk-worms asleep, pared mulberry-leaves.

I had so long been troubled by official hat and robe
The brook was pure in its mountain source,

AT PARTING
And green hills lighten the cares of the world.
Twenty years among mountains and forests,
Your dewy herbs flourish in their bed of moss.
Looking back, I saw my path
And the farmers, returning with hoes on their shoulders,
Not because of a warmer soil,

Oh, to remain on a broad flat rock

And I choose to put away from me every worldly matter

O troubler of my midnight dreams !
I pour you the farewell wine as you set out from the capital --
I drank alone. There was no one with me --
...A thousand years fame, ten thousand years fame-
凄凄去親愛， 泛泛入煙霧；
You had sent me not one sign from your exile --

My office has grown cold today;
Alas, the moon was unable to drink

Those who know lifes final meaning
In the year Kuimao the bandits from Xiyuan entered Daozhou, set fire, raided, killed, and looted. The whole district was almost ruined. The next year the bandits came again and, attacking the neighbouring prefecture, Yong, passed this one by. It was not because we were strong enough to defend ourselves, but, probably, because they pitied us. And how now can these commissioners bear to impose extra taxes? I have written this poem for the collectors information.
落葉滿空山， 何處尋行跡。
千里其如何？ 微風吹蘭杜。
But where light grows dim in the thick pines,
獨夜憶秦關， 聽鍾未眠客。

I ask you what you have come here for;
In your sail-boat of sweet cinnamon-wood

It will move through the cycle, full moon and then crescent again,
When shall we meet again and where?
And then I was drunk, and we lost one another.
真源了無取， 忘跡世所逐；
But here are sweet incense-clouds, quietly ours.

Here I shall finally build me a cabin,
DRINKING ALONE WITH THE MOON

Careful of word and look, observant of good example.
...What though your purpose happened to fail,
與高適薛據登慈恩寺浮圖
君言不得意， 歸卧南山陲。
Five-character-ancient-verse
And content my old age with rivers and lakes!
And still -- because you promised -- I am waiting for you, waiting,
清輝淡水木， 演漾在窗戶。
Have I not reasoned a visit complete?
Its four sides darken the bright sun,

But in fallen leaves that have heaped the bare slopes,

Joining, in the candlelight,

Between us we forgot the world.
溪居

And yet a breath of orchids comes along the wind.
ON MEETING MY FRIEND FENG ZHU
聲喧亂石中， 色靜深松里；
Here, beside a clear deep lake,
又作岳
You forget the shade from this other tree.

Under the given words I want the essential meaning,
歸來視幼|女， 零淚緣纓流。
On a journey of less than thirty miles....
...When trouble arose in the Kuan district,
Bird-hunters will crave me in vain,
I plough in the morning, turning dewy grasses,
Zhang Jiuling
And I could sleep soundly and late in the morning-
晚風吹行舟， 花路入溪口。
Which made me the more tender of you.
李白
Enter advancing through the city;
四角礙白日， 七層摩蒼穹。

OFFICIAL RESIDENCE ON A RAINY DAY
Five-character-ancient-verse
And then, abruptly rising to go,
DWELLING BY A STREAM
汲井漱寒齒， 清心拂塵服，
A spring dove calls from some hidden place.
Your elder sister has looked out for you,
散發乘夜涼， 開軒卧閑敞。
春泛若耶溪
I recite, along the path to the eastern shelter.
And, here in my doorway, you rubbed your white head
贈衛八處士

Seemed to be your face, still floating in the air.
SEEING Li Bai IN A DREAM II
I take into my being all that I see and hear,
There are fruits and vegetables aplenty.
And just be friends, enjoying nature.
雉雊麥苗秀， 蠶眠桑葉稀。

But still for a while I had these friends
And now comes the sun, out of mist and fog,
IN THE CAPITAL
THan Would any other natural flower?
From where my eminent guests are gathered.
Marking the day and the place of our parting....

海上風雨至， 逍遙池閣涼。

You rest under thatch in the shadow of your flowers,
Where willows harmonize the wind
夫婿輕薄兒， 新人美如玉。

松際露微月， 清光猶為君。
And a rugged old man in a thatch door
I wondered if it were really you,
Five-character-ancient-verse
EAST OF THE TOWN
There are whirring pheasants? full wheat-ears,
But because its nature is used to the cold.
草木有本心， 何求美人折？
And how can you sacrifice human lives,
So you, a man of the eastern mountains,
五言古詩
As this limpid water is....
I strain my sight after birds flying home.
遠樹帶行客， 孤城當落暉。
青槐夾馳道， 宮館何玲瓏？
Through mist and fog I float and float
當時浣紗伴， 莫得同車歸。
閑持貝葉書， 步出東齋讀。
...You were very young when your mother died,
Would no more ask to-be transplanted
Nurses his thoughts cleansed of care,

Shocks us, burns our hearts with grief.
How grey our temples have grown since them!
We little guessed it would be twenty years
As Tao Qian built one long ago.
Five-character-ancient-verse
You have found your hermitage of peace;
...My host proclaims it a festival,
Or wander up and down a stream.
幽人歸獨卧， 滯慮洗孤清，
And mandarin-ducks lie side by side,
Wei Yingwu
之子期宿來， 孤琴候蘿徑。
Our mulberries here curve green-threaded branches;
And close beside your window the music of your pines.
The beauty of your grasses, fresh with rain,
松月生夜涼， 風泉滿清聽。
...Our capital teems with officious people,
It is almost as hard for friends to meet
感遇其二
五陵北原上， 萬古青蒙蒙。

草色新雨中， 松聲晚窗里；
When shall I reach the top and hold
即此羡閑逸， 悵然吟式微。
感遇其三
Where I watch the south star over the mountain
差池不相見， 黽勉空仰止。
...The world has forgotten the true fountain of this teaching
徒言樹桃李， 此木豈無陰？
五言古詩
And brown rice cooked freshly a special way.
May, like a wanderer, never come back....
You live accompanied by clouds;
AT HIS TEMPLE IN THE EARLY MORNING
...Our chosen one, our friend, is now by a limpid river --
How could Xi Shi remain humbly at home? --
But beset with affairs, it grows restless again....
To bring me my shadow and make us three.
Wang Wei
And I was glad of a chance to rest
造化鍾神秀， 陰陽割昏曉。
楊柳散和風， 青山澹吾慮。
苒苒幾盈虛？ 澄澄變今古。
She leans in the sunset by a tall bamboo.
Borne by the channel of a green stream,
And so I think of you, old friend,
Why should I wait for you any longer?
五言古詩
When, I being drunk and my friend more than happy,
五言古詩
DOWN ZHONGNAN MOUNTAIN
And to cast a fishing-line forever!
美人清江畔， 是夜越吟苦。
If this autumn weather were not so brisk and clear;
And at evening tie my fisher-boat, breaking the quiet stream.
When I went away, you were still unmarried;

Wang Changling
And sing a long poem and gaze at the blue sky.
No more would her own hands powder her face
And none of the girls in her neighbours houses
將家就魚麥， 歸老江湖邊。
少壯能幾時？ 鬢髮各已蒼。

I have peeped into your room, at your seat beside the table.

自小闕內訓， 事姑貽我憂；
And came all the way to the Gate of Gold --

Where a sudden breeze whips up the waves.

久為簪組累， 幸此南夷謫。
恐非平生魂， 路遠不可測。
