送人东游

温庭筠

荒戍落黄叶， 浩然离故关。

高风汉阳渡， 初日郢门山。

江上几人在？ 天涯孤棹还。

何当重相见？ 樽酒慰离颜。

　

to a friend bound east

wen tingyun

the old fort brims with yellow leaves....

you insist upon forsaking this place where you have lived.

a high wind blows at hanyang ferry

and sunrise lights the summit of yingmen....

who will be left for me along the upper yangzi
