九月九日憶山東兄弟 王維


九月九日憶山東兄弟      王維 (701-761)

獨在異鄉為異客,每逢佳節倍思親。

遙知兄弟登高處,遍插茱萸少一人。

Thinking of My Brothers on Double Nineth Festival      
Wang Wei (701-761)

Solitarily stranded in an outland as an outlander,
On festival seasons my solicitude for my family grows stronger,
Imagining today when my brothers mount a high place to avoid disaster,
They’ll be vexed by my conspicuous absence as a cornel apiece they wear.
