送李中丞归汉阳别业

刘长卿

流落征南将， 曾驱十万师。

罢归无旧业， 老去恋明时。

独立三边静， 轻生一剑知。

茫茫江汉上， 日暮复何之。

　

a farewell to governor li on his way home to hanyang

liu chanqing

sad wanderer, once you conquered the south,

commanding a hundred thousand men;

today, dismissed and dispossessed,

in your old age you remember glory.

once, when you stood, three borders were still;
