商山早行
温庭筠
晨起动征铎[1]，
客行悲故乡。
鸡声茅店月，
人迹板桥霜。
槲[2]叶落山路，
枳[3]花明驿墙[4]。
因思杜陵[5]梦，
凫[6]雁满回塘[7]。

Early Departure on Mount Shang
Wen Tingyun
At dawn I rise, with ringing bells my cab goes,
But grieved in thoughts of my home, I feel lost.
As the moon sets over thatched inn, the cock crows;
Footprints are left on wood bridge paved with frost.
The mountain path is covered with oak leaves,
The post-house bright with blooming orange trees.
The dream of my homeland last night still grieves,
A pool of mallards playing with wild geese.
This poem reveals the poet’s homesickness by describing the scenery.
