留别王维-Parting Words to Wang Wei

留别王维

孟浩然

寂寂竟何待,朝朝空自归。

欲寻芳草去,惜与故人违。

当路谁相假? 知音世所稀。

只应守寂寞,还掩故园扉。

Parting Words to Wang Wei

Meng Haoran

What am I waiting for with life idled away!

Gaining nothing, I come back alone day by day.

I’ll go where I may seclude myself to the end,

But I am loath to part from you, my bosom friend.

Who among those in power is to lend me a hand?

It’s hard to meet a man that can me understand.

I’m doomed to lead a life lonely and desolate.

Back in hometown, I’ll shut again my garden gate.
