وداع وانغ وي (منغ هاوران)

Silent, silent—when will it end? Each dawn I return to emptiness alone.

I would seek the fragrant grass, but regret parting from an old friend.

Those in power—who among them lends a hand? True connoisseurs are rare in this world.

I shall keep to my solitude, and close again the door of my old garden.

留別王維 (孟浩然)

寂寂竟何時,朝朝空自歸。

欲尋芳草去,惜與故人違。

當路誰相假,知音世所稀。

祇因一作「應」守寂寞,還掩故園扉。
