梦李白之一 SEEING Li Bai IN A DREAM I

五言古诗 
杜甫 
梦李白之一

死别已吞声， 生别常恻恻。
江南瘴疠地， 逐客无消息。
故人入我梦， 明我长相忆；
君今在罗网， 何以有羽翼？
恐非平生魂， 路远不可测。
魂来枫林青， 魂返关塞黑；
落月满屋梁， 犹疑照颜色。
水深波浪阔， 无使蛟龙得。

SEEING Li Bai IN A DREAM I

There are sobs when death is the cause of parting;
But life has its partings again and again.
...From the poisonous damps of the southern river
You had sent me not one sign from your exile --
Till you came to me last night in a dream,
Because I am always thinking of you.
I wondered if it were really you,
Venturing so long a journey.
You came to me through the green of a forest,
You disappeared by a shadowy fortress....
Yet out of the midmost mesh of your snare,
How could you lift your wings and use them?
...I woke, and the low moon's glimmer on a rafter
Seemed to be your face, still floating in the air.
...There were waters to cross, they were wild and tossing;
If you fell, there were dragons and rivermonsters.
