中文原文﹕
吏舍跼終年，
出郭曠清曙：
楊柳散和風，
青山澹吾慮。
依叢適自憇，
緣澗還復去。
微雨靄芳原，
春鳩鳴何處？
樂幽心屢止，
遵事跡猶遽；
終罷斯結廬，
慕陶直可庶。
英文翻譯 / English Translation﹕
Growing tired of the burden of office all year long,
At morning's first light I wander out of town to ease the mind;
Willows leisurely sway in the gentle wind,
The mountain green quells worries and concerns of mine.
Against some thickets I rest in comfort,
Along the creek I stroll to and fro taking my time.
A drizzle falls across the meadow,
Where are the turtle doves that I hear cooing, why are they nowhere in sight?
Though longing for serenity I am subject to shuffles and missions,
My pace inevitably hastens when I have imperial orders to abide by;
One day when it is time to retire I shall return here to build a cottage,
So as to Tao Yuanming's example follow and live with a contented mind.
