別盧秦卿 司空曙

別盧秦卿     司空曙(720-790)

知有前期在，難分此夜中。    

無將故人酒，不及石尤風。    

Farwelling Lu Qinqing          Sikong Shu (720-790)

We’ve pledged to meet again some day,

Tonight I still find it hard to tear myself away,
Useless is this booze with which I hope to keep you stay,
Or should I resort to the wish of the lovesick wife who swore to turn into a storm after she died to prevent husbands from going away.
