送郭司仓
王昌龄[1]
映门淮水绿，
留骑[2]主人心。
明月随良掾[3]，
春潮夜夜深。
注释：
[1] 王昌龄：唐代著名诗人。《千家诗》注说：“掾音雁；司仓，今之管粮主簿也。掾，属吏也，县佐为掾。少伯送掾而惜其去。言吾门庭方春而淮水映绿，暂留饮饯，以尽地主之心也。良掾虽难留，而明月亦随掾而去。掾虽去，而幸淮水春潮夜夜弥深，而相与共居于此水之上也。”这首诗说水月思客，自然和人同心。
[2] 留骑：挽留客人的车骑。
[3] 掾：古代称呼属员。
Farewell to a Friend
Wang Changling
Before my door green water flows;
Though prayed to stay, your steed still goes.
You’ll be followed by the moon bright
And rising tide from night to night.
