韋應(yīng)物

　　寄李儋元錫

　　去年花里逢君別， 今日花開又一年。

　　世事茫茫難自料， 春愁黯黯獨(dú)成眠。

　　身多疾病思田里， 邑有流亡愧俸錢。

　　聞道欲來相問訊， 西樓望月幾回圓。

　　Wei Yingwu

　　TO MY FRIENDS LI DAN AND YUANXI

　　We met last among flowers, among flowers we parted,

　　And here, a year later, there are flowers again;

　　But, with ways of the world too strange to foretell,

　　Spring only brings me grief and fatigue.

　　I am sick, and I think of my home in the country-

　　Ashamed to take pay while so many are idle.

　　...In my western tower, because of your promise,

　　I have watched the full moons come and go.
