Thoughts on New Year's Eve (Cui Tu)
Long and winding, the roads of Sanba; a body in peril, ten thousand li from home.
Chaotic mountains, a night of lingering snow; alone, a stranger in a foreign land in spring.
Gradually growing distant from my flesh and blood; increasingly close to my servant boy.
How can I bear this drifting, this wandering—tomorrow, the year turns anew.
除夜有懷 (崔塗)
迢遞三巴路，羈危萬里身。
亂山殘雪夜，孤獨異鄉春一作「人」。
漸與骨肉遠，轉於僮僕親。
那堪正飄泊，明日歲華新。
