奉和圣制从蓬莱向兴庆阁道中留春雨中春望之作应制
王维
渭水自萦秦塞曲, 黄山旧绕汉宫斜。
銮舆迥出千门柳, 阁道回看上苑花。
云里帝城双凤阙, 雨中春树万人家。
为乘阳气行时令, 不是宸游玩物华。
LOOKING DOWN IN A SPRING-RAIN ON THE COURSE
FROM FAIRY-MOUNTAIN PALACE TO THE PAVILION OF
INCREASE HARMONIZING THE EMPEROR'S POEM
Wang Wei
Round a turn of the Qin Fortress winds the Wei River,
And Yellow Mountain foot-hills enclose the Court of China;
Past the South Gate willows comes the Car of Many Bells
On the upper Palace-Garden Road-a solid length of blossom;
A Forbidden City roof holds two phoenixes in cloud;
The foliage of spring shelters multitudes from rain;
And now, when the heavens are propitious for action,
Here is our Emperor ready-no wasteful wanderer.
