李益·《喜见外弟又言别》
十年离乱后，长大一相逢。
问姓惊初见，称名忆旧容。
别来沧海事，语罢暮天钟。
明日巴陵道，秋山又几重。
Meeting with My Cousin Only to Part
Li Yi
After ten troubled years of pain,
Not till grown-up do we meet again.
You seem a stranger at first view,
Yet your name tells me who were you.
We talk of changes which befell
Until we hear the evening bell.
Tomorrow o’er the hills you’ll go,
How far off you’ll be, I don’t know.
