Send As a Gift to Wang the Ninth
口 号 赠 王 九
日 暮 田 家 远
山 中 勿 久 淹。
归 人 须 早 去
稚 子 望 陶 潜。
Kou Hao Zeng Wang Jiu
Ri mu tian jia yuan
Shan zhong wu jiu yan.
Gui ren xu zao qu
Zhi zi wang tao qian.
Send As a Gift to Wang the Ninth
Sunset on the fields and distant houses
Do not linger too long amid the mountains.
People who came together have to depart in the morning
You are so young and talented, your future is like Tao Yuanming.
Notes:
