寓舍中庭劣半弓,燕泥为圃石为墉。
瑞香萱草一两本,葱叶蔊苗三四丛。
穉子落成小金谷,蜗牛卜筑别珠宫。
也思日涉随儿戏,一迳惟看蚁得通。
寓舍中庭劣半弓,燕泥为圃石为墉。
瑞香萱草一两本,葱叶蔊苗三四丛。
穉子落成小金谷,蜗牛卜筑别珠宫。
也思日涉随儿戏,一迳惟看蚁得通。
寓所的庭院狭小,宽度还不足半弓;
用燕子衔来的泥作菜圃,用石头垒成矮墙。
栽种了一两株瑞香和萱草,
还有三四丛葱叶和蔊菜苗。
幼子建成了他小小的金谷园,
蜗牛选择在这里筑巢,而非华丽的宫殿。
我也想着每天去走走,随同孩子的嬉戏,
只看着蚂蚁能沿着一条小径通行。
My courtyard's narrow, less than half a bow's length wide;
With swallow mud for soil and stones to fence the side.
A fragrant daphne, a day-lily or two,
And three or four clumps of onion and cress anew.
My child has built a tiny Golden Valley here;
The snail has chosen this, not a pearl palace dear.
I'd like to roam there daily, following his play,
And watch the ants along the single winding way.
方寸之地的经营,体现对微观环境的积极治理。
描写寓所庭院内开辟小菜园的景象,展现随遇而安的闲趣。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
