送人遊吴
杜荀鹤
君到姑苏见,人家尽枕河。
古宫闲地少,水巷小桥多。
夜市卖菱藕,春船载绮罗。
遥知未眠月,乡思在渔歌。
See a Friend Off to Wu
Tu Hsun-ho
I see you to Ku-su.
Homes there, sleeping by the stream.
Ancient palace, few abandoned spots.
And by the harbor, many little bridges.
In the night market, lotus, fruit and roots.
On the spring barges, satins and gauze.
Know, far off, the moon still watches.
Think of me there, in the fisherman’s song.
(J. P. Seaton 译)
