客子暂维舟。
念此一筵笑，
My bosom friend will set sail on his way. Therefore, we’re all smiling when we wine and dine
分为两地愁。
露湿寒塘草，
As we’ll soon stay apart in strong dismay. Dews moisten grass along the freezing pond;
月映清淮流。
方抱新离恨，
The moon shines over Huai that flows away. Now that I have said farewell to my friend,
独守故园秋。
Bereft alone at home I’ll have to stay.
