薛濤·《贈遠二首》

一

芙蓉新落蜀山秋，錦字開緘到是愁。

閨閣不知戎馬事，月高還上望夫樓。

二

擾弱新蒲葉又齊，春深花落塞前溪。

知君未轉(zhuǎn)秦關(guān)騎，月照千門掩袖啼。

Two Poems for Someone Faraway

Xue Tao

I

Hibiscus newly fallen on the hills of Shu,

And grief arrives when the envelope’s unsealed.

A girl who does not know the affairs of war

Still climbs at full moon the mate-watching tower.

II

New rushes, though weak, show a steady green

When late-spring blossoms drop in frontier creeks.

Your steed, I know, has yet to round Qin forts:

My sleeve’s tear-soaked, the moon lights a thousand gates.
