岑参 故园东望路漫漫，双袖龙钟泪不干。 To the east the long, long road home appears; A man of years, my sleeves are wet with tears.

 【逢入京使】    唐 • 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。
 

FENG RU JING SHI
("Meeting a Messenger Going to the Capital")  
-- by Cen Can-- Translated by Frank C Yue

To the east the long, long road home appears;
A man of years, my sleeves are wet with tears.
On horseback I've no means of writing though,
Just tell them I'm safe and still on the go!
