人日思歸 - 薛道衡

入春才七日，離家已二年。

人歸落雁後，思發在花前。

A Quatrain by Xue Daoheng (Sui dynasty)

(Yearning for Home on the Human Day)

Another seventh day of the new spring

Sith I was dispatched here two years ago.

Tho’ I’ll not return till wild geese take leave,

My heart has hied home ere spring blossoms blow.
