《寄子安》 鱼玄机
醉别千卮不浣愁，离肠百结解无由。
蕙兰销歇归春圃，杨柳东西绊客舟。
聚散已悲云不定，恩情须学水长流。
有花时节知难遇，未肯厌厌醉玉楼。
To Tzu-an
Yu Hsuan-chi
A thousand goblets at the farewell feast
can’t dilute my sorrow,
my heart at separation is twisted
in a hundred unyielding knots.
Tender orchids wilt and wither,
return to the garden of spring;
willow trees, here and there,
moor traveler’ boats.
In meeting and parting I lament
the unsettled clouds;
love and affection should learn from the river
in flowing on and on.
I know we won’t meet again
in the season of blossoms,
and I won’t sit by quietly
drunk in my chamber.
