寄李儋元錫

去年花里逢君別， 今日花開又一年。

世事茫茫難自料， 春愁黯黯獨成眠。

身多疾病思田里， 邑有流亡愧俸錢。

聞道欲來相問訊， 西樓望月幾回圓。

TO MY FRIENDS LI DAN AND YUANXI

We met last among flowers, among flowers we parted,

And here, a year later, there are flowers again;

But, with ways of the world too strange to foretell,

Spring only brings me grief and fatigue.

I am sick, and I think of my home in the country-

Ashamed to take pay while so many are idle.

...In my western tower, because of your promise,

I have watched the full moons come and go.
