唐詩三百首英譯 劉長卿：餞別王十一南遊

五言律詩

劉長卿

餞別王十一南遊

望君菸水濶， 揮手淚沾巾。

飛鳥沒何処？ 青山空曏人。

長江一帆遠， 落日五湖春。

誰見汀洲上， 相思愁白蘋？

Liu Changing

ON SEEING WANG LEAVE FOR THE SOUTH

Toward a mist upon the water

Still I wave my hand and sob，

For the flying bird is lost in space

Beyond a desolate green mountain……

But now the long river， the far lone sail，

five lakes， gleam like spring in the sunset；

And down an island white with duckweed

Comes the quiet of communion.
