Xie Tiao – 谢朓

游东田

谢朓

戚戚[1]苦无悰[2],

携手共行乐。

寻云陟[3]累[4]榭[5],

随山望菌阁[6]。

远树暧[7]阡阡[8],

生烟纷漠漠[9]。

鱼戏新荷动,

鸟散余花落。

不对芳春酒[10],

还望青山郭。

Excursion on Eastern Fields

Xie Tiao

Cheerless, I’m dreary beyond measure;

We go hand in hand to seek pleasure.

We enjoy clouds from height to height

And see from hilltop sight on sight.

On gloomy woods I gaze and gaze;

Mist and smoke rise like haze in haze.

Fish play among new lotus leaves;

Birds gone, the fallen flower grieves.

I would not drink sweet vernal wine,

But linger before mountains fine.
