客发苕溪[1]
[清]叶燮
客心如水水如愁，
容易归舟趁疾流。
忽讶[2]船窗送吴语，
故山月已挂船头。
注释：
[1]苕溪：水名，流经作者的家乡吴兴。
[2]讶：惊奇，奇怪。
On My Native Stream
Ye Xie
My heart runs faster than the waves like grief wide-spread,
On rapid current goes my homesick boat ahead.
Surprised to hear my native dialect left and right,
I find over the mast the moon of yore shine bright.
