Red clouds tower in the west, The sun is sinking on the plain. A sparrow chirps on the wicker gate, I return from a thousand li away. My wife and children are shocked to see me, She calms herself and wipes her tears. I floated through this disordered life, By chance I still have reached my goal. The neighbours all lean over the wall, And they as well are sighing and sobbing. Late at night we hold a candle, And face each other as in a dream. |
