秋登兰山寄张五
孟浩然
北山白云里， 隐者自怡悦。
相望始登高， 心随雁飞灭。
愁因薄暮起， 兴是清秋发。
时见归村人， 沙行渡头歇。
天边树若荠， 江畔洲如月。
何当载酒来， 共醉重阳节。
on climbing orchid mountain in the autumn to zhang
meng haoran
on a northern peak among white clouds
you have found your hermitage of peace;
and now, as i climb this mountain to see you,
high with the wildgeese flies my heart.
the quiet dusk might seem a little sad
if this autumn weather were not so brisk and clear;
i look down at the river bank, with homeward-bound villagers
resting on the sand till the ferry returns;
there are trees at the horizon like a row of grasses
and against the river's rim an island like the moon
i hope that you will come and meet me, bringing a basket of wine --
and we'll celebrate together the mountain holiday.
