    七言律诗

    刘长卿

    长沙过贾谊宅

    三年谪宦此栖迟， 万古惟留楚客悲。

    秋草独寻人去后， 寒林空见日斜时。

    汉文有道恩犹薄， 湘水无情吊岂知？

    寂寂江山摇落处， 怜君何事到天涯？

    ON PASSING JIA YIS hOUSE IN ChANGShA

    your three years exile,

    to be mourned in Cen thousand years,

    Can I trace your footprint in tumn grass --

    Or only slanting sunlighe bleak woods?

    If even good Emperor en was cold-ed,

    Could you  tand you,

    te ers, taciturn mountains,

    hen you came, like me, so far away?

    七言律诗

    刘长卿

    自夏口至鹦洲夕望岳阳寄源中丞

    汀洲无浪复无烟， 楚客相思益渺然。

    汉口夕阳斜渡鸟， 洞庭秋水远连天。

    孤城背岭寒吹角， 独戍临江夜泊船。

    贾谊上书忧汉室， 长沙谪去古今怜。

    Birds in ting sun cross hankou,

    And tumn sky mingles ing.

    ...From a bleak mountain one of a bugle

    Reminds me, moored by a ruined fort,

    t Jia Yis loyal plea to the house of han

    Banned o Co be an exile.

    二月黄鹂飞上林， 春城紫禁晓阴阴。
