韋應物
東郊
吏舍跼終年， 出郊曠清曙。
楊柳散和風， 青山澹吾慮。
依叢適自憩， 緣澗還復去。
微雨靄芳原， 春鳩鳴何處？
樂幽心屢止， 遵事跡猶遽；
終罷斯結廬， 慕陶真可庶。

EAST OF THE TOWN
From office confinement all year long,
I have come out of town to be free this morning
Where willows harmonize the wind
And green hills lighten the cares of the world.
I lean by a tree and rest myself
Or wander up and down a stream.
…Mists have wet the fragrant meadows;
A spring dove calls from some hidden place.
…With quiet surroundings, the mind is at peace,
But beset with affairs, it grows restless again….
Here I shall finally build me a cabin,
As Tao Qian built one long ago.
