【定林所居】  北宋 • 王安石

 屋繞彎溪竹繞山，
 
溪山卻在白雲間。

臨溪放艇依山坐，

溪鳥山花共我閒。

DING LIN SUO JU: "Living in the Woods"
-- by Wang Anshi (1021 - 1086)
-- Translated by Frank C Yue


A small stream flows round my hut, bamboos grow round the hill;
Buried in the white clouds, the stream and hill (are like
treasure).
I am seated in my boat, by the hill on the rill;
The stream birds, and hill flowers keep me company in leisure.
