TU FU
"Country Cottage"
____________________
A peasant's shack beside the
Clear river, the rustic gate
Opens on a deserted road
Weeds grow over the public well.
I loafin my old clothes. Willow
Branches sway. Flowering tree
Perfume the air. The sun sets
Behind a flock of cormorants,
Drying their black wings along the pier.
Translated by Kenneth Rexroth
