去者日以疏

佚名 · 两汉

去qù者zhě日rì以yǐ疏shū，

来lái者zhě日rì以yǐ亲qīn。

Those who are gone grow daily more distant; those who come grow daily more dear.

出chū郭guō门mén直zhí视shì，

但dàn见jiàn丘qiū与yǔ坟fén。

I go out the outer gate and look straight ahead—only mounds and graves are to be seen.

古gǔ墓mù犁lí为wéi田tián，

松sōng柏bǎi摧cuī为wéi薪xīn。

The ancient tombs are ploughed into fields; pines and cypresses hacked for firewood.

白bái杨yáng多duō悲bēi风fēng，

萧xiāo萧xiāo愁chóu杀shā人rén。

The white poplars hold much mournful wind; their rustling kills the heart with sorrow.

思sī还huán故gù里lǐ闾lǘ，

欲yù归guī道dào无wú因yīn。

I would go back to my old village lane, but there is no way to return.
