与朱山人[1]
锦里[2]先生乌角巾[3]，
园收芋栗[4]未全贫[5]。
惯看宾客儿童喜，
得食阶除[6]鸟雀驯。
秋水才深四五尺，
野航恰受[7]两三人。
白沙翠竹江村暮，
相送柴门[8]月色新。
注释：
[1] 《千家诗》注说：“锦里即锦江；先生，朱希真也。言先生冠乌角之巾，秋收芋栗之多，未可为贫也。宾朋时至，儿童忻喜；果实盈阶，鸟雀安驯。秋水既枯，深者才四五尺；野舟虽小，渡者仅二三人。竹青沙白，江村暮矣。山人送我于柴门，看月色之方新也。”这首诗写江村隐士的生活。

For a Riverside Hermit
Du Fu
The riverside hermit wears a black angled hood;
He is not poor for he has potatoes as food.
Used to seeing guests come, his children feel delight;
Fed in the courtyard, birds and sparrows oft alight.
The river in autumn is deep four or five feet;
In ferry boat two or three people have their seat.
The village girt with green bamboos in twilight late,
The hermit sees me off at moonlit wicket gate.
