On Returning to Song Mountain
        Wang Wei 701-761

The clear stream girdles the long slope,
Carriage horses amble with ease, with ease.
Flowing water seems to be purposeful.
Evening birds in pairs return. 
Barren city walls overlook the old ford,
Fading sunlight fills the autumn mountains.
Far and distant--below Sung's height;
I've come home, and close the gate.
 
Guī Sōngshān Zuò
Wáng Wéi 701-761

Qīng chuān dài cháng bó,
Chē mǎ qù xiánxián;
Liúshuǐ rú yǒu yì,
Mù qín xiāng yú huán.
Huāng chéng lín gǔ dù,
Luò rì mǎn qiū shān;
Tiáodì Sōng gāo xià,
Guī lái qiě bì guān.
