Dwelling in the Mountains in the Dark Autumn
Tang Dynasty: Wang Wei
After the new rain in the empty mountains, autumn comes late.
The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow upward.
The bamboo noise returns to Huan Nu, and the lotus moves off the fishing boat.
Let the spring fragrance rest at will, and the kings and grandsons can stay.
Translation:
The valley is empty and fresh after the new rain, and the weather is particularly cool in the early autumn evening.
The bright moon shines in the quiet pine forest, and clear spring water flows on the rocks.
The girl in the bamboo forest laughed loudly and came back from washing. The lotus leaves swayed gently as she wandered up and down the boat.
Although the beauty of spring fades away, the autumn scenery in front of us is enough to make people linger.
