再授连州至衡阳[1]酬柳柳州[2]赠别
刘禹锡
去国[3]十年同赴召，
渡湘千里又分歧[4]。
重临事异黄丞相[5]，
三黜[6]名惭柳士师[7]。
归目并随回雁尽，
愁肠正遇断猿时。
桂江东过连山下[8]，
相望长吟有所思[9]。

Farewell to Liu Zongyuan in Exile
Liu Yuxi
Recalled together after an exile of ten years,
Again we’re banished for long miles and say adieu.
We reappear but unlike our noble compeers;
Thrice in exile I feel I’m unworthy of you.
We watch returning wild geese till they’re out of sight;
We’re sad to hear the monkey wail with broken heart.
The Western River flows far from the Southern height.
Longing for each other, can we be kept apart?
The poet was banished to the south and his friend to the west for ten years, both were recalled and again banished together, but the poet said he was unworthy of his friend for he was not so straightforward.
