喜外弟盧綸見(jiàn)宿

靜夜四無(wú)鄰， 荒居舊業(yè)貧。

雨中黃葉樹(shù)， 燈下白頭人。

以我獨(dú)沉久， 愧君相訪頻。

平生自有分， 況是蔡家親。

WHEN LU LUN MY COUSIN COMES FOR THE NIGHT

With no other neighbour but the quiet night,

Here I live in the same old cottage;

And as raindrops brighten yellow leaves,

The lamp illumines my white head....

Out of the world these many years,

I am ashamed to receive you here.

But you cannot come too often,

More than brother, lifelong friend.
