五言律詩 韋應物 賦得暮雨送李冑

楚江微雨裡, 建業暮鐘時。
漠漠帆來重, 冥冥鳥去遲。
海門深不見, 浦樹遠含滋。
相送情無限, 沾襟比散絲。

Wei Yingwu A FAREWELL IN THE EVENING RAIN TO LI CAO

Is it raining on the river all the way to Chu? ---
The evening bell comes to us from Nanjing.
Your wet sail drags and is loath to be going
And shadowy birds are flying slow.
We cannot see the deep ocean-gate --
Only the boughs at Pukou, newly dripping.
Likewise, because of our great love,
There are threads of water on our faces.
