芙蓉楼送辛渐

平明[3]送客楚山孤。
洛阳亲友如相问,
一片冰心[4]在玉壶[5]。

Farewell to Xin Jian at Lotus Tower
Wang Changling
A cold rain mingled with East Stream invades the night;
At dawn you leave the Southern hills lonely in haze.
If my friends in the North should ask if I’m all right,
My heart is free of stain as ice in crystal vase.
