积雨辋川庄作
王维
积雨空林烟火迟，蒸藜炊黍饷东。
漠漠水田飞白鹭，阴阴夏木啭黄鹂。
山中习静观朝槿，松下清斋折露葵。
野老与人争席罢，海鸥何事更相疑？
Written at Wangchuan Retreat During a Prolonged Rain
Wang Wei
Late cooking smoke drifts about where rain-drenched open
woods stand；
Cooked greens and millet is sent to the eastern new farmland.
Over misty water-logged fields white-feathered egrets fly；
Amidst shadowy summer woods orioles sweetly cry.
I often watch rose of Sharon on hillside in quiet，
And dine under a pine tree with dewed mallow as diet.
An old hermit， of the world I’ve nothing more expected；
Of what indeed should I be by those sea-gulls suspected！
