除夜有怀 – 崔涂
迢递三巴路，羁危万里身。
乱山残雪夜，孤烛异乡人。
渐与骨肉远，转于僮仆亲。
那堪正飘泊，明日岁华新。
Contemplating on New Year’s Eve – Cui Tu
To Tri-Ba regions the road’s tedious,
A lengthy perilous journey I trudge.
Still snow-seized, the night peaks look hideous,
Alone, a candlelit stranger – I grudge
The gradual distance from my kith and kin,
Glad, my page and I grow akin I judge.
Alas, morrow, the New Year will begin,
An unbearable drift – my grief won’t budge.
