I never should have left. There’s no one here to talk to. Old trees are dying ouside the city wall and crickets are crying day and night. I’d get drunk if the wine weren’t so weak. I’d sing but singing only makes me sad. I threw a stick into the river that flows south in your direction, and it’s happier than I am.
我来竟何事,高卧沙丘城。 城边有古树,日夕连秋声。 鲁酒不可醉,齐歌空复情。 思君若汶水,浩荡寄南征。
