张九龄

　　感遇其三

　　幽人归独卧， 滞虑洗孤清，

　　持此谢高鸟， 因之传远情。

　　日夕怀空意， 人谁感至精？

　　飞沈理自隔， 何所慰吾诚？

　　THOUGHTS III

　　The hermit in his lone abode

　　Nurses his thoughts cleansed of care,

　　Them he projects to the wild goose

　　For it to his distant Sovereign to bear.

　　Who will be moved by the sincerity

　　Of my vain day-and-night prayer？

　　What comfort is for my loyalty

　　When fliers and sinkers can compare？
