「食后」白居易

食罢一觉睡，起来两瓯茶。举头看日影，已复西南斜。

乐人惜日促，忧人厌年赊。无忧无乐者，长短任生涯。

AFTER LUNCH 

After lunch — one short nap: 

On waking up — two cups of tea. 

Raising my head, I see the sun's light 

Once again slanting to the south-west. 

Those who are happy regret the shortness of the day; 

Those who are sad tire of the year's sloth. 

But those whose hearts are devoid of joy or sadness 

Just go on living, regardless of "short" or "long."
