黄景仁·《别老母》英译

别老母

黄景仁

搴帷拜母河梁去，白发愁看泪眼枯。

惨惨柴门风雪夜，此时有子不如无。

Parting from My Old Mother

Huang Jingren

I leave my mother at the door for riverside,

I gaze at her white hair and tearful eyes now dried.

To have on snowy night a son not within call,

It is no better than to have no son at all.

（许渊冲 译）
