逢入京使-Meeting a Messenger on His Way to the Capital
逢入京使
岑参
故园东望路漫漫,双袖龙钟泪不干。
马上相逢无纸笔,凭君传语报平安。
Meeting a Messenger on His Way to the Capital
Cen Shen
Looking eastwards, I feel my homeland lies far, far away;
In vain I try with sleeves my o’erflowing of tears to stay.
Meeting you on horseback, I’ve no paper or pen wherewith to write;
Please give my kith and kin a message that I am all right.
