五言律詩 宋之問 題大庾嶺北驛

陽月南飛雁, 傳聞至此回,
我行殊未已, 何日復歸來?
江靜潮初落, 林昏瘴不開。
明朝望鄉處, 應見隴頭梅。

Five-character-regular-verse
Song Zhiwen INSCRIBED ON THE WALL OF AN INN
NORTH OF DAYU MOUNTAIN

They say that wildgeese, flying southward,
Here turn back, this very month....
Shall my own southward journey
Ever be retraced, I wonder?
...The river is pausing at ebb-tide,
And the woods are thick with clinging mist --
But tomorrow morning, over the mountain,
Dawn will be white with the plum-trees of home.
