There meet by chance, south of the river,
Dreaming doubters of a dream....
In the trees a wind has startled the birds,
And insects cower from cold in the grass;
But wayfarers at least have wine
And nothing to fear -- till the morning bell.

五言律诗
卢纶
李端公
故关衰草遍, 离别正堪悲。
路出寒云外, 人归暮雪时。
少孤为客早, 多难识君迟。
掩泪空相向, 风尘何处期。

A FAREWELL TO LI DUAN
By my old gate, among yellow grasses,
Still we linger, sick at heart.
The way you must follow through cold clouds
Will lead you this evening into snow.
Your father died; you left home young;
Nobody knew of your misfortunes.
We cry, we say nothing. What can I wish you,
In this blowing wintry world?

五言律诗
李益
喜见外弟又言别
十年离乱后, 长大一相逢。
问姓惊初见, 称名忆旧容。
别来沧海事, 语罢暮天钟。
明日巴陵道, 秋山又几重。

A BRIEF BUT HAPPY MEETING WITH MY BROTHER-IN LAW
\"MEETING BY ACCIDENT, ONLY TO PART\"
After these ten torn wearisome years
We have met again. We were both so changed
That hearing first your surname, I thought you a stranger --
Then hearing your given name, I remembered your young face....
All that has happened with the tides
We have told and told till the evening bell....
Tomorrow you journey to Youzhou,
Leaving autumn between us, peak after peak.
