元稹·《闻乐天授江州司马》
残灯无焰影幢幢，此夕闻君谪九江。
垂死病中惊坐起，暗风吹雨入寒窗。
On Hearing the News that My Friend Bai Juyi Is Relegated to Jiujiang
Yuan Zhen
The going-out lamp seems flameless, looms dim and flickering;
This evening I hear my friend’s relegated to Jiujiang,
Which makes me startled and sit up although I am dying,
Into my window a dark wind with a cold rain blows strong.
