空山新雨后Empty mountain, after new rain;
天气晚来秋evening comes, and the air is autumn.
明月松间照Bright moon shines between the pines;
清泉石上流clear spring runs over the stones.
竹喧归浣女Bamboo rustles: the washerwomen are going home.
莲动下渔舟Lotuses stir: a fishing boat comes down.
随意春芳歇Let the spring flowers fade as they please —
王孙自可留a gentleman may stay here just the same.
