送李端 盧綸

送李端    盧綸 (748-800)
故關衰草遍，離別正堪悲。
路出寒雲外，人歸暮雪時。
少孤為客早，多難識君遲。
掩泣空相向，風塵何所期。

Bidding Li Duan Farewell           Lu Lun (748-800)

Grasses in my homeland have shriveled,

This parting brings me great sorrow,
The road on which I bid you farewell spreads beyond the chilly clouds,
I’d return amidst the evening snows,
Forlornly on the tramp as I was bereaved of my father since early juvenile,
Plagued by misfortunes we came across each other really slow,
Now we are going to part I cover my face to let my tears pour,
In these tumultuous times will we ever see each other again at all?
