酬郭给事-To the Court-Affair Administrator Guo
酬郭给事
王维
洞门高阁霭余晖，桃李阴阴柳絮飞。
禁里疏钟官舍晚，省中啼鸟吏人稀。
晨摇玉佩趋金殿，夕奉天书拜琐闱。
强欲从君无那老，将因卧病解朝衣。
To the Court-Affair Administrator Guo
Wang Wei
Bathed in the setting sunshine are arch-door towers standing high；
Among shady leaves of peach and plum， willow catkins fly.
You work late in the office till evening bells faintly ring，
And as few courtiers still stay in the bureau， birds freely sing.
At dawn， swinging jade pendants， to Royal Hall you go straight；
At dusk， you receive Imperial edicts at palace gate.
I am so old now that I can’t follow you as I will；
Soon I’ll take off my court robe and retire for being ill.
