茅簷 書湖陰先生壁 王安石

茅簷書湖陰先生壁       王安石 (1021-1086)

茅簷常掃淨無苔，花木成蹊手自栽。

一水護田將綠繞，兩山排闥送青來。

Thatched Eaves Written on Mr. Lake-shade’s wall   Wang Anshi (1021-1086)

Frequently swept, no trace of moss is seen under the thatched eaves of his home,

The path leading to it is strewn with flowers and trees he planted on his own,
A stream cuddles the fields and offers a delightful verdant spectacle,
Gates of the house open to two green hills bringing all the verdure one hankers most.
