和贾舍人早朝大明宫之作
王维
绛帻鸡人送晓筹, 尚衣方进翠云裘。
九天阊阖开宫殿, 万国衣冠拜冕旒。
日色才临仙掌动, 香烟欲傍衮龙浮。
朝罢须裁五色诏, 佩声归向凤池头。
AN EARLY AUDIENCE AT THE PALACE OF LIGHT
HARMONIZING SECRETARY JIA ZHI POEM
Wang Wei
The red-capped Cock-Man has just announced morning;
The Keeper of the Robes brings Jade-Cloud Furs;
Heaven's nine doors reveal the palace and its courtyards;
And the coats of many countries bow to the Pearl Crown.
Sunshine has entered the giants' carven palms;
Incense wreathes the Dragon Robe:
The audience adjourns-and the five-coloured edict
Sets girdle-beads clinking toward the Lake of the Phoenix.
