送陸判官往琵琶峽 – 李白

水國秋風夜，殊非遠別時。
長安如夢裏，何日是歸期。

A Quatrain by Li Bai

(A Fond Farewell as Magistrate Lu Sets Off for Pipa Gorge)

On this water country’s wind-seized fall night,

‘Tis not the best time for you to leave me.

Chang’an, though far, I oft dream it’s in sight,

Alas, when could the day of return be?

Tr. Ziyuzile
