怀渑池 寄子瞻兄

1061

​

相携话别郑原上,共道长途怕雪泥。

归骑还寻大梁陌,行人已渡古崤西。

曾为县吏民知否,旧宿僧房壁共题。

遥想独游佳味少,无言骓马但鸣嘶

 

Missing Shenchi, A Letter for My Brother Zi Zhan

Su Zhe of the Song Dynasty

(Written 1061; Su Zhe 1039-1112) 

 

We said goodbye in the town of Zhengzhou,

afraid of the long road of muddy snow.

Riding my horse to Daliang I glance back;

my brother should by now have crossed Mount Xiao.

Who knows that I held office in Mianchi?

Like monks, with father, wrote poems on walls?

That lonely travel seems no good to me.

His speechless mule will only bray at him.

​
