白居易·《江南送北客，因凭寄徐州兄弟书》英译

故园望断欲何如，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

楚水吴山万里余。

今日因君访兄弟，

数行乡泪一封书。

Seeing a Northerner Guest off from Jiangnan, and Entrusting Him with a Letter to My Brothers at Xuzhou

Bai Juyi

I have longed for my home place, all in vain,

Chu waters and Wu hills keeping me so far away.

Please visit my brother for me with this letter.

Every word in the lines is a tear-drop from me.
