五言律詩 盧綸 李端公

故關衰草遍, 離別正堪悲。
路出寒雲外, 人歸暮雪時。
少孤為客早, 多難識君遲。
掩淚空相向, 風塵何處期。

Lu Lun A FAREWELL TO LI DUAN

By my old gate, among yellow grasses,
Still we linger, sick at heart.
The way you must follow through cold clouds
Will lead you this evening into snow.
Your father died; you left home young;
Nobody knew of your misfortunes.
We cry, we say nothing. What can I wish you,
In this blowing wintry world?
