Wen Tingyun: Around The Old Castle Yellow Leaves Fall, Spiritedly, You Walk Past Old Tower Tall温庭筠 荒戍落黄叶 浩然离故关 Poem by Frank Yue

Sòng Rén Dōng Yóu:
"Seeing Someone Off to the East"
- by Wen Tingyun (812-870）
- Translated by Frank C Yue

Around the old castle yellow leaves fall;
Spiritedly, you walk past old tower tall.
A high wind at the Hanyang ferry blows;
The sunrise atop Qingmen Mountain glows.
Hardly anyone's on the river clear;
At the end of the skies lone sail appears.
O Why can't you say when you'll return, dear?
Let's have some wine to drown away our tears!


【送人东游】 唐 • 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。
