Green-Water Stream (青溪) - By Wang Wei

[Illoed]

To reach the Yellow-Flowered River
Go by the Green-Water Stream.
A thousand twists and turns of mountain
But the way there can’t be many miles.
The sound of water falling over rocks
And deep colour among pines.
Gently green floating water-plants.
Bright the mirrored reeds and rushes.
I am a lover of true quietness.
Watching the flow of clear water
I dream of sitting on the uncarved rock
casting a line on the endless stream.


青溪

王维

言入黄花川，每逐青溪水。
随山将万转，趣途无百里。
声喧乱石中，色静深松里。

漾漾泛菱荇，澄澄映葭苇。
我心素已闲，清川澹如此。
请留盘石上，垂钓将已矣。
