Birds Calling in the Ravine
Wang Wei
鸟鸣涧
王维 〔唐代〕
人闲桂花落，夜静春山空。
月出惊山鸟，时鸣春涧中。
| Person idle osmanthus flower fall Night quiet spring hill empty Moon out startle hill birds Constant call spring ravine in | I’m idle, as osmanthus flowers fall, This quiet night in spring, the hill is empty. The moon comes out and startles the birds on the hill, They don’t stop calling in the spring ravine. |
