王維 山中相送罷 日暮掩柴扉 We bade each other good-bye in these hills

  送別    唐 ‧ 王維

      山中相送罷，

    
      日暮掩柴扉。

    
       春草明年綠，

         

       王孫歸不歸。

Sòng Bié: "Farewell"

-- by Wang Wei (701-761)  

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

We bade each other Good-bye in these      

hills;

I didn't close the wicker door, dusk until.

The Spring grass will be green again next 

year;

But, will you -- my Prince of Friends -- 

return here?

Wang Wei (701-761):  Farewell

1     Here in the hills, I bade you farewell;

2     And by dusk I closed my twiggen door.

3     O grass will again be green next spring!

4     Might you, my lord, be back once more?
