韋應物
長安遇馮著
客從東方來， 衣上灞陵雨。
問客何為來？ 采山因買斧。
冥冥花正開， 颺颺燕新乳。
昨別今已春， 鬢絲生幾縷。

ON MEETING MY FRIEND FENG ZHU
IN THE CAPITAL
Out of the east you visit me,
With the rain of Baling still on your clothes,
I ask you what you have come here for;
You say: “To buy an ax for cutting wood in the mountains”
…Hidden deep in a haze of blossom,
Swallow fledglings chirp at ease
As they did when we parted, a year ago….
How grey our temples have grown since them!
