（古詩英譯）江陵愁望寄子安 – （唐）魚玄機

江陵愁望寄子安 – （唐）魚玄機

 

楓葉千枝複萬枝，江橋掩映暮帆遲。

憶君心似西江水，日夜東流無歇時。

 

A Quatrain by Yu Xuan-ji (Tang Dynasty)

(Longing for Zi’an as I Gaze)

 

Layers upon layers — myriad maple sprays,

Afar, dusk veils the bridge, ah, thy sail still delays.

My heart longs for thee like the vast Yangtze River —

Eastward it flows, tirelessly, by nights and by days.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
