题大庾岭北驿
宋之问
阳月南飞雁， 传闻至此回。
我行殊未已， 何日复归来。
江静潮初落， 林昏瘴不开。
明朝望乡处， 应见陇头梅。
inscribed on the wall of an inn north of dayu mountain
song zhiwen
they say that wildgeese, flying southward,
here turn back, this very month....
shall my own southward journey
ever be retraced, i wonder?
...the river is pausing at ebb-tide,

and the woods are thick with clinging mist --
but tomorrow morning, over the mountain,
dawn will be white with the plum-trees of home.
