宿业师山房待丁大不至 Waitinging in Vain for Ding the Eldest

Waitinging in Vain for Ding the Eldest
作者：（唐）孟浩然
翻译：许渊冲　　
夕阳度西岭，
The western ridge with setting sun is crowned;
群壑倏已暝。
And all the dales in the gloaming are drowned.
松月生夜凉，
The moon sheds chilly beams on the pine trees;
风泉满清听。
The fountain’s song is spread out in the breeze.
樵人归欲尽，
All the woodcutters come back for a rest;
烟鸟栖初定。
All the birds go through the mist for their nest.
之子期宿来，
Waiting for Ding my dear friend all the day,
孤琴候萝径。
I play my lute and gaze on ivy way.
