Autumn Day

秋日 (耿湋)
返照入閭巷
憂來誰共語
古道少人行
秋風動禾黍

Autumn - Day (Geng Wei)
To Return - To Illuminate - To Enter - Village - Lane
Sorrow - To Arrive - Who - Together - To Tell

Autumn Day (Geng Wei)
The reflection of the setting sun enters the village lane
Who to tell about my sorrow
No one travels on the ancient road
The autumn wind stirs the stalks of grain

返照: reflection of the setting sun

Sending A Message To Landlord Qiu On An Autumn Evening (Wei Yin Wu)
Thinking of you on an autumn evening
I go for a walk and sing of a cool day
Pine cones fall on the empty mountain
A recluse should not be asleep
