淮上喜會梁川故人 韋應物

淮上喜會梁川故人     韋應物  (737-792)
江漢曾為客，相逢每醉還。
浮雲一別後，流水十年間。
歡笑情如舊，蕭疏鬢已斑。
何因北歸去，淮上對秋山。

Delightfully Running Into My Liangchuan Old Friend

On the River Huai         Wei Yingwu (737-792)

Together in Jiang Han we once dwelled,

Whenever we met we drank to our full,
As drifting clouds apart we fell,
Like water along ten years have hence bowled,
We enjoy each other’s company as much as old,
Our hair already grizzled,
Why not back to our homeland we go?
Stranding here over the River Huai only to have the autumnal mountains to keep us in fall.
