酬郭给事
王维
洞门高阁霭余辉， 桃李阴阴柳絮飞。
禁里疏钟官舍晚， 省中啼鸟吏人稀。
晨摇玉佩趋金殿， 夕奉天书拜琐闱。
强欲从君无那老， 将因卧病解朝衣。
HARMONIZING A POEM BY PALACE-ATTENDANT GUO
Wang Wei
High beyond the thick wall a tower shines with sunset
Where peach and plum are blooming and the willowcotton flies.
You have heard in your office the court-bell of twilight;
Birds find perches, officials head for home.
Your morning-jade will tinkle as you thread the golden palace;
You will bring the word of Heaven from the closing gates at night.
And I should serve there with you; but being full of years,
I have taken off official robes and am resting from my troubles.
