五言律詩
白居易
賦得古原草送別
離離原上草, 一歲一枯榮。
野火燒不盡, 春風吹又生。
遠芳侵古道, 晴翠接荒城。
又送王孫去, 萋萋滿別情。

GRASSES
Boundless grasses over the plain
Come and go with every season;
Wildfire never quite consumes them —
They are tall once more in the spring wind.
Sweet they press on the old high- road
And reach the crumbling city-gate….
O Prince of Friends, you are gone again….
I hear them sighing after you.
