Chu people sang the bamboo branch song
Wanderer’s tears on the clothes
Guesting in the foreign land for long
Often dreamt of return at the cold night
A letter didn’t be written in reply
But all the leaves flew away from the thousand trees
Would cross the Dongting water south
Less messages should be received

2）洞庭水，即洞庭湖，中国第二大淡水湖，位于湖南省北部，长江荆江河段南岸。

★ 客中（五律）

☆ 于武陵 诗


楚人歌竹枝
游子泪沾衣
异国久为客
寒宵频梦归
一封书未返
千树叶皆飞
南过洞庭水
更应消息稀
