读 陶 诗
我 诗 慕 渊 明
恨 不 造 其 微。
退 归 亦 已 晚
饮 酒 或 庶 几？
雨 馀 锄 瓜 垄
月 下 坐 钓 矶。
千 载 无 斯 人
吾 将 谁 与 归？
Du Tao Shi
Wo shi mu yuan ming
Hen bu zao qi wei.
Tui gui yi yi wan
Yin jiu huo shu ji?
Yu yu chu gua long
Yue xia zuo diao ji.
Qian zai wu si ren
Wu jiang shei yu gui?
Read Aloud Tao Yuanming Poetry
My poetry admires the bright deep pools of Tao Yuanming
Hate that I cannot create his profound lines.
Retired to seclusion much later in life than him
Perhaps I also just want to drink wine?
After rains, I hoe my sweet potatoes upon the field berms
As the moon sets, sit fishing on a protruding rock.
One thousand years without these kind of people
Who will associate with a returnee like me?
