《村行》 王禹偁

马穿山径菊初黄,信马悠悠野兴长。
万壑有声含晚籁,数峰无语立斜阳。
棠梨叶落胭脂色,荞麦花开白雪香。
何事吟余忽惆怅?村桥原树似吾乡。

Journeying to the Village
Wang Yü-ch’eng

My horse threads the mountain path as chrysanthemums begin to yellow;
Aimlessly, leisurely, I ride—my wandering mood unrestrained.
To noises from ten thousand ravines mingle with the sound of dusk;
Mountain peaks stand silent as I linger in the slanting sun.
Leaves of crab apple and pear trees drop their deep rouge color;
Field buckwheat flowering shed a snow-white fragrance.
How could I have, after humming this song, suddenly grown dispirited?
Hamlet and bridge, plain and trees—all look like my native village.
