A Guest Comes
Du Fu 712-770
North of my cottage
south of my cottage
everywhere spring waters,
But for visitors
only gulls
daily come.
I didn't sweep
the flower path
not expecting guests,
The gate is open now
do come in!
The meal
far from the market
a simple thing,
Grab a wine cup
a poor houshold
only old home brew
If you agree
I'll invite the old cdger next door
to join us for a drink,
Across the fence
we'll hoot and holler
and drain our cups!
