和晋陵路丞早春游望
杜审言
独有宦游人， 偏惊物候新。
云霞出海曙， 梅柳渡江春。
淑气催黄鸟， 晴光转绿苹。
忽闻歌古调， 归思欲沾巾。
on a walk in the early spring
harmonizing a poem by my friend lu
stationed at changzhou
du shenyan
only to wanderers can come
ever new the shock of beauty,
of white cloud and red cloud dawning from the sea,

of spring in the wild-plum and river-willow....
i watch a yellow oriole dart in the warm air,
and a green water- plant reflected by the sun.
suddenly an old song fills
my heart with home, my eyes with tears.
