宣州送裴坦[1]判官往舒州[2]，时牧欲赴官归京
日暖泥融雪半消，
行人芳草马声骄。
九华山[3]路云遮寺，
清弋江[4]村柳拂桥。
君意如鸿高的的[5]，
我心悬旆[6]正摇摇[7]。
同来不得同归去，
故国逢春一寂寥。

Farewell to Pei Tan, Judge of Xuancheng, upon Going Back to the Capital
Du Mu
The snow in warming sun has half melted away;
You who will go on fragrant grass hear your horse neigh.
Over the mountain path clouds veil the temple drear;
The willow tips caress the bridge on River Clear.
Your ideal will fly up as high as the wild geese;
My mind still flutters like a streamer in the breeze.
Coming together, I cannot go back with you.
How lonely I’d feel at home when spring comes anew!
This poem depicts the scenery in the first half and the poet’s mind in the second.
