《南乡子·归梦寄吴樯》 陆游

归梦寄吴樯，
水驿江程去路长。
想见芳洲初系缆，
斜阳，
烟树参差认武昌。

愁鬓点新霜。
曾是朝衣染御香。
重到故乡交旧少，
凄凉，
却恐他乡胜故乡。

Song of a Southern Country
Home-Going

The east-bound ship laden with my home-going dream
Will make from post to post a long trip on the stream.
Thinking of my first mooring by the isle, I frown
At the sundown,
Amid the mist-veiled trees I see the town.

My forehead dotted with new frosty hair, I fear.
Once I wore my official gown
Before the crown;
Now coming home, I'll find fewer friends near.
How sad and drear
To be more familiar abroad than here!
