Li Qi
The travelers’ parting-song sounds in the dawn.
Last night a first frost came over the river；
And the crying of the wildgeese grieves① my sad heart
Bounded by a gloom of cloudy mountains.
Here in the Gate City， day will flush cold
And washing-flails quicken by the gardens at twilight.
How long shall the capital content② you，
Where the months and the years so vainly③ go by？
① grievevi. 悲伤；哀悼 vt. 使悲伤；使苦恼
② contentvt. 使满足 n. 满足 adj. 满足的，满意的
③ vainlyadv. 徒劳地；自负地
送魏万之京
李颀
朝闻游子唱离歌，
昨夜微霜初渡河。
鸿雁不堪愁里听，
云山况是客中过。
关城树色催寒近，
御苑砧声向晚多。
莫见长安行乐处，
空令岁月易蹉跎。
