寄左省杜拾遗-To Censor Du in the Left Court

寄左省杜拾遗

岑参

联步趋丹陛,分曹限紫微。

晓随天仗入,暮惹御香归。

白发悲花落,青云羡鸟飞。

圣朝无阙事,自觉谏书稀。

To Censor Du in the Left Court

Cen Shen

We go in company, ascending steps bright red,

And then to my office in the right I stride ahead.

At dawn we go to Court after a guard of honour;

At dusk we return bathed in royal incense odor.

White-headed, I mourn for flowers falling before my eyes

And envy the high soaring birds in the blue skies.

As all things in the Court are done under good care,

Naturally I think remonstrations may be rare.
