饮马长城窟行

[汉]蔡邕

青青河边草，

绵绵[1]思远道。

远道不可思，

宿昔[2]梦见之。

梦见在我傍，

忽觉[3]在他乡。

他乡各异县，

展转[4]不可见。

枯桑[5]知天风，

海水知天寒。

入门各自媚[6]，

谁肯相为言[7]！

客从远方来，

遗我双鲤鱼[8]。

呼儿烹[9]鲤鱼，

中有尺素书[10]。

长跪[11]读素书，

书中竟何如？

上言加餐食，

下言长相忆。

A Longing Wife

Cai Yong

Green,green the grass by riverside;

Long,long I miss him far and wide.

He’s far away beyond the stream;

Yet I saw him last night in dream.

I dreamed we side by side did stand;

I woke to find him in far land.

The land’s too far to trace the ground;

I tossed but he could not be found.

A withered tree can feel the breeze;

The sea feels cold though it won’t freeze.

When men come home,with their wives they feel glad.

Who’d talk with me and care if I feel sad?

But a stranger comes from afar;

He brings me a pair of fine carp.

I call my boy to cook the fish,

In which I find a message as I wish.

I kneel to read what my husband does write

In this dear letter on silk white.

He starts:“Take of your health good care,”

And ends:“I’ll think of you fore’er.”
