除夜有怀
崔涂
迢递三巴路， 羁危万里身。
乱山残雪夜， 孤独异乡春。
渐与骨肉远， 转于僮仆亲。
那堪正飘泊， 明日岁华新。
on new year's eve
cui tu
farther and farther from the three ba roads,
i have come three thousand miles, anxious and watchful,
through pale snow-patches in the jagged nightmountains --
a stranger with a lonely lantern shaken in the wind.
...separation from my kin

binds me closer to my servants --
yet how i dread, so far adrift,
new year's day, tomorrow morning!
