（古詩英譯）江陵愁望寄子安 – （唐）魚玄機

江陵愁望寄子安 – （唐）魚玄機

 

枫叶千枝复万枝，江桥掩映暮帆迟。

忆君心似西江水，日夜东流无歇时。

 

A Quatrain by Yu Xuan-ji (Tang Dynasty)

(Longing for Zi’an as I Gaze)

 

Layers upon layers — myriad maple sprays,

Afar, dusk veils the bridge, ah, thy sail still delays.

My heart longs for thee like the vast Yangtze River —

Eastward it flows, tirelessly, by nights and by days.

 

Tr. Ziyuzile
