元明清诗歌汉译英赏析28：On Leaving Wuchang别武昌-揭傒斯(中英双语)

(28) On Leaving Wuchang

别武昌

Jie Xi-si (1274-1344)

揭傒斯

On going home, none will delay;

欲归常恨迟，

But I dislike to start my way.

将行反愁遽。

I long for home when the year ends;

残年念骨肉，

Staying abroad long, I've new friends.

久客多亲故。

Standing, I gaze on river's flow

伫立望江波，

And see the waves but homeward go.

江波正东注。
