Long Time Do Not See Hanyu, You Cannot Go Beyond Your Satirical Writing
久 不 见 韩 侍 郎，戏 题 四 韵 以 寄 之
近 来 韩 阁 老
疏 我 我 心 知。
户 大 嫌 甜 酒
才 高 笑 小 诗。
静 吟 乖 月 夜
闲 醉 旷 花 时。
还 有 愁 同 外
春 风 满 鬓 丝。
Jiu Bu Jian Han Shi Lang, Xi Ti Si Yun Yi Ji Zhi
Jin lai han ge lao
Shu wo wo xin zhi.
Hu da xian tian jiu
Cai gao xiao xiao shi.
Jing yin guai yue ye
Xian zui kuang hua shi.
Huan you chou tong wai
Chun feng man bin si.
Long Time Do Not See Hanyu, You Cannot Go Beyond Your Satirical Writing
Recently thought of the old sage Hanyu
Being far away, you are not aware of my heart-mind.
It appears I drink a lot, but the wine is thin and weak
It seems that you believe your ability is superior to my minor poems.
Calm and excellent moonlit evenings
Let us leisurely get drunk during this expansive flower season.
Sharing the same beginnings, let us go back to ease our sorrows
Our temple hair like silk, let us not waste these spring breezes.
Notes:
Hanyu: (768-824 ) Famous Tang Dynasty poet and politician. Famous for his neo-Confucian philosophy and excellent prose writings. Some of his work and biographical information can also be found on this website.
