Along the Luo River, Go to Visit Yuan Sheyi, But I Missed Seeing Him
洛 中 访 袁 拾 遗 不 遇
洛 阳 访 才 子
江 岭 作 流 人。
闻 说 梅 花 早
何 如 北 地 春。
Luo Zhong Fang Yuan She Yi Bu Yu
Luo yang fang cai zi
Jiang ling zuo liu ren.
Wen shuo mei hua zao
He ru bei di chun.
Along the Luo River, Go to Visit Yuan Sheyi, But I Missed Seeing Him
Go to visit a gifted Luoyang scholar
Wanderers and drifters travel by way of rivers and mountain ranges.
I hear it said that the plum blossoms are early this year
Perhaps because of the springtime energies in the lands to the north.
Notes:
Luo River: It flows from Shaanxi into Henan Province.
