Li Bai: A message to Meng Haoran

A MESSAGE TO MENG HAORAN

Li Bai

Master, I hail you from my heart,

And your fame arisen to the skies….

Renouncing in ruddy youth the importance of hat and chariot,

You chose pine-trees and clouds; and now, whitehaired,

Drunk with the moon, a sage of dreams,

Flower- bewitched, you are deaf to the Emperor….

High mountain, how I long to reach you,

Breathing your sweetness even here!

赠孟浩然

李白

吾爱孟夫子， 风流天下闻。

红颜弃轩冕， 白首卧松云。

醉月频中圣， 迷花不事君。

高山安可仰？ 徒此挹清芬。
