芙蓉樓送辛漸 – 王昌齡
寒雨連江夜入吳,平明送客楚山孤。
洛陽親友如相問,一片冰心在玉壺。
Farewelling Chum – Xinjian at Hibiscus Tower by Wang Changling
Into Wu by night, cold rain joins rivers apace,
At dawn, sending thee off, alone Mt. Chu I face.
Should Luoyang kith and kin ask about me, pray tell...
My heart, like pure ice in a jade jug, keeps its grace.
Tr. Ziyuzile
