五言律詩
孟浩然
歲暮歸南山
北闕休上書， 南山歸敝廬。
不才明主棄， 多病故人疏。
白發(fā)催年老， 青陽逼歲除。
永懷愁不寐， 松月夜窗墟。

Meng Haoran
ON RETURNING AT THE YEAR'S END TO ZHONGNAN MOUNTAIN
I petition no more at the north palace-gate.
……To this tumble-down hut on Zhongnan Mountain
I was banished for my blunders， by a wise ruler.
I have been sick so long I see none of my friends.
My white hairs hasten my decline，
Like pale beams ending the old year.
Therefore I lie awake and ponder
On the pine-shadowed moonlight in my empty window.
