凉思
客去波平槛，
蝉休露满枝。
永怀当此节，
倚立自移时。
北斗[1]兼春远，
南陵[2]寓使[3]迟。
天涯占梦数，
疑误有新知[4]。
秋天到来，天气渐凉，诗人回忆起友人的离去，无比思念。该诗用词简练，情深意长。
注释：
[1]北斗：即北斗星。
[2]南陵：今安徽省芜湖市南陵县，唐时属宣州。
[3]寓使：传书的使者。寓，寄，托。
[4]新知：新结交的知己。
Autumn Thoughts
Guests gone,waves level with the balustrade,
Cicadas silent,branches wet with dew.
How can I forget what is done and made
Standing there for hours,I’m thinking of you.
Two years stand between me and Northern Star.
No news from Southern home,it’s overdue.
I can but dream and divine from afar,
Doubting if you have made connaissance new.
Note:The Northern Star refers to the capital.
