DWELLING BY A STREAM

　　Liu Zongyuan

　　I had so long been troubled by official hat and robe

　　That I am glad to be an exile here in this wild southland.

　　I am a neighbour now of planters and reapers.

　　I am a guest of the mountains and woods.

　　I plough in the morning, turning dewy grasses,

　　And at evening tie my fisher-boat, breaking the quiet stream.

　　Back and forth I go, scarcely meeting anyone,

　　And sing a long poem and gaze at the blue sky

　　                   柳宗元

　　久為簪組累， 幸此南夷謫。

　　閑依農(nóng)圃鄰， 偶似山林客。

　　曉耕翻露草， 夜榜響溪石。

　　來往不逢人， 長歌楚天碧。
