送綦毋潜落第还乡
王维
（五言古诗）
圣代无隐者， 英灵尽来归，
遂令东山客， 不得顾采薇。
既至金门远， 孰云吾道非？
江淮度寒食， 京洛缝春衣。
置酒长安道， 同心与我违；
行当浮桂棹， 未几拂荆扉。
远树带行客， 孤城当落晖。
吾谋适不用， 勿谓知音稀？
江湖侠客注：綦毋潜（读音QiwuQian，綦毋，复姓），唐代江西最有名诗人。后人认为其诗风接近王维。《全唐诗》收其诗作26首，代表作《春泛若耶溪》入选《唐诗三百首》。参阅：“入若耶溪[唐]崔颢（山水诗歌画话）”http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4a517e8b0100en81.html
TOQIWU QIAN BOUND HOME AFTER FAILING IN ANEXAMINATION
（Five-character-quatrain）
WangWei
In a happy reign there should be no hermits;
The wise and able should consult together.
So you, a man of the eastern mountains,
Gave up your life of picking herbs
And came all the way to the Gate of Gold,
But you found your devotion unavailing.
To spend the Day of No Fire on one of thesouthern rivers,
You have mended your spring clothes here in thesenorthern cities.
I pour you the farewell wine as you set out fromthe capital.
Soon I shall be left behind here by mybosomfriend.
In your sail-boat of sweet cinnamon-wood,
You will float again toward your own thatchdoor,
Led along by distant trees,
To a sunset shining on a far-away town.
What though your purpose happened to fail,
Doubt not that some of us can hear highmusic.
