留别王维-Parting Words to Wang Wei
留别王维
孟浩然
寂寂竟何待,朝朝空自归。
欲寻芳草去,惜与故人违。
当路谁相假? 知音世所稀。
只应守寂寞,还掩故园扉。
Parting Words to Wang Wei
Meng Haoran
What am I waiting for with life idled away!
Gaining nothing, I come back alone day by day.
I’ll go where I may seclude myself to the end,
But I am loath to part from you, my bosom friend.
Who among those in power is to lend me a hand?
It’s hard to meet a man that can me understand.
I’m doomed to lead a life lonely and desolate.
Back in hometown, I’ll shut again my garden gate.
