Listen to this article方干（836—888），字雄飞，号玄英，门人私谥曰玄英先生。睦州青溪（今浙江淳安）人。为人质野，喜凌侮。每见人设三拜，曰礼数有三，时人呼为“方三拜”。徐凝一见器之，授以诗律。唐宪宗元和三年举进士。钱塘太守姚合视其貌陋，缺唇，卑之。懿宗咸通中，隐居会稽镜湖。有诗集。
《君不来》 方干
远路东西欲问谁，寒来无处寄寒衣。
去时初种庭前树，树已胜巢人未归。
Still Are Thou Away
Fang Gan
Whom can I ask whither goes thou on thy journey,
That I can send thee winter dress in the cold day?
When thou left home, in the courtyard was planted a tree,
It’s now grown with a nest on it, yet still are thou away.
