English translation 中文原文

A desolate outpost sheds its yellow leaves; with resolute heart I leave the old pass.

The high winds blow at Hanyang's ferry; the first sunlight falls on the peaks of Yingmen Mountain.

How many remain along the river? A lone boat returns from the ends of the earth.

When shall we meet again? With wine in hand to console our parting faces.

送人東遊

荒戍落黃葉，浩然離故關。

高風漢陽渡，初日郢門山。

江上幾人在，天涯孤棹還。

何當重相見，樽酒慰離顏。
