Yearning(Gǔ Fēng) Poem by Perdita Young (Hanna Wang)
Yearning(Gǔ Fēng)
By the window I lie
Listening to the sound of autumn;
The cicadas shrill noisily,
And dense is their woe.
You've been away, my dear,
Far from me and our home,
For missing you I wither
And my hair will grey grow.
The wind of south has begun
To hasten falling leaves,
And the cold rain has got ready
To brew my new grief.
How long, alas, is your road back
And how far away?
For you I look and seek
On high towers night and day.

盼君归
依窗卧听秋，寒蛩怨声稠。
此去音容渺，思君欲白头。
楚风催落叶，冷雨酿新愁。
归路何迢迢，危楼频极眸。

Very glad you like it, headmaster. Autumn is so beautiful that it should become a key topic in Poemhunter like the other seasons.
A beautiful poem of yearning and impatience for the sight of the beloved. Excellently penned. 10
Thank you very much for the compliment, poem friend.It's a translation of the Chinese verse and i hope there is not too much loss of its style.
