Relationships
Nostalgia
Translated by Herbert A. Giles (1898) · From Chinese Poetry in English Verse (1898)
Relationships
'Tis autumn, and I watch the streams
Which towards my dear home flow;
I span the distance in my dreams,
And wake to deeper woe.
I cannot read to ease my care.
But solace seek in wine,
And think of friends all gathered there —
When will that lot be mine?
