Thinking of My Brothers and Sisters Scattered Here and There, I Write this Poem for Them by the Light of the Moon
Bai Juyi
Hard times with famine spread ruins in our home town;
My brothers go their way east or west, up and down.
Battles have left the fields and gardens desolate;
By roadside wander families wars separate.
Like far-off wild geese over lonely shadows we weep,
As scattered rootless tumbleweed in autumn deep.
We should shed yearning tears to view the moon apart;
Though in five places, we have the same homesick heart.
The poet shows his love for his brothers and sisters scattered in five places in wartime.
