开轩灭华烛,
月露皓已盈。
My tranquil room is filled with fresh cool air. I open windows and blow out candlelight,
独夜无物役,
寝者亦云宁。
To find the full moon crystal clear and bright. I spend the night alone without my cares,
忽获愁霖唱,
怀劳奏所诚。
Like those who sleep, free from mundane affairs. As soon as I read your poem
叹彼行旅艰,
深兹眷言情。
On Sad Rain, I feel fraternal love and cordial vein.
伊余虽寡慰,
殷忧暂为轻。
I'm worried at your trip from port to port And deeply moved by your sincere home thought.
牵率酬嘉藻,
长揖愧吾生。
Although I'm ridden with profoundest grief, Your poem gives me temporary relief.
