I wake with a long sigh,
My pillow and my matting
Are the lost clouds I was in.
...And this is the way it always is with human joy:
Ten thousand things run for ever like water toward the east.
And so I take my leave of you, not knowing for how long.
...But let me, on my green slope, raise a white deer
And ride to you, great mountain, when I have need of you.
Oh, how can I gravely bow and scrape to men of high rank and men of high office
Who never will suffer being shown an honest-hearted face!

七言古诗
李白
金陵酒肆留别
风吹柳花满店香, 吴姬压酒唤客尝;
金陵子弟来相送, 欲行不行各尽觞。
请君试问东流水, 别意与之谁短长?

PARTING AT A WINE-SHOP IN NANJING
A wind, bringing willow-cotton, sweetens the shop,
And a girl from Wu, pouring wine, urges me to share it
With my comrades of the city who are here to see me off;
And as each of them drains his cup, I say to him in parting,
Oh, go and ask this river running to the east
If it can travel farther than a friend\’s love!

七言古诗
李白
宣州谢朓楼饯别校书叔云
弃我去者, 昨日之日不可留;
乱我心者, 今日之日多烦忧。
长风万里送秋雁, 对此可以酣高楼。
蓬莱文章建安骨, 中间小谢又清发,
俱怀逸兴壮思飞, 欲上青天览明月。
抽刀断水水更流, 举杯销愁愁更愁。
人生在世不称意, 明朝散发弄扁舟。
又作复
