別老母 - （清）黃景仁

 

搴帷拜母河梁去，白發愁看淚眼枯。

慘慘柴門風雪夜，此時有子不如無。

 

Bidding Adieu to Mother Afore Heading for Heliang

by Huang Jingren

 

Parting the curtains, I fare my dear mother well,

Her hair all white, it saddens me, yet tears I quell.

At a snow-seized night, I leave her thatched door behind,

“Alas, a son worse than none,” I silently yell.
