华夏集 Cathay 09

From Rihaku

FOUR POEMS OF DEPARTURE

Light rain is on the light dust.

The willows of the inn-yard

Will be going greener and greener,

But you, Sir, had better take wine ere your departure,

For you will have no friends about you

When you come to the gates of Go.

渭城曲 / 送元二使安西

【作者】王维 【朝代】唐

渭城朝雨浥轻尘，客舍青青柳色新

劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。

Separation on the River Kiang

Ko-jin goes west from Ko-kaku-ro,

The smoke-flowers are blurred over the river.

His lone sail blots the far sky.

And now I see only the river,

The long Kiang, reaching heaven.

黄鹤楼送孟浩然之广陵

【作者】李白 【朝代】唐

故人西辞黄鹤楼，烟花三月下扬州。

孤帆远影碧空尽，唯见长江天际流。

Taking Leave of a Friend

Blue mountains to the north of the walls,

White river winding about them;

Here we must make separation

And go out through a thousand miles of dead grass.

Mind like a floating wide cloud.

Sunset like the parting of old acquaintances

Who bow over their clasped hands at a distance.

Our horses neigh to each other

as we are departing.

送友人

【作者】李白 【朝代】唐

青山横北郭，白水绕东城。

此地一为别，孤蓬万里征。

浮云游子意，落日故人情。

挥手自兹去，萧萧班马鸣。

Leave-taking near Shoku

"Sanso, King of Shoku, built roads"

They say the roads of Sanso are steep,

Sheer as the mountains.

The walls rise in a man's face,

Clouds grow out of the hill

at his horse's bridle.

Sweet trees are on the paved way of the Shin,

Their trunks burst through the paving,

And freshets are bursting their ice

in the midst of Shoku, a proud city.

Men's fates are already set,

There is no need of asking diviners.

送友人入蜀

【作者】李白 【朝代】唐

见说蚕丛路，崎岖不易行。

山从人面起，云傍马头生。

芳树笼秦栈，春流绕蜀城。

升沉应已定，不必问君平。
