十六君远行，瞿塘滟滪堆。 At sixteen you departed, You went into far Ku-to-en, by the river swirling eddies, 五月不可触，猿声天上哀。 And you have been gone five mooverhead. 门前迟行迹，一一生绿苔。 You dragged your feet when you went out. By the gate now, the moss is grown, the different mosses, 苔深不能扫，落叶秋风早。 Too deep to clear them away! The leaves fall early this autumn, in wind.

The rustling of the silk is discontinued, Dust drifts over the court-yard, There is no sound of foot-fall, and the leaves Scurry into heaps and lie still, And she the rejoicer of the heart is beneath them: A wet leaf that clings to the threshold

八月蝴蝶黄，双飞西园草。 The paired butterflies are already yellow with August Over the grass in the West garden— 感此伤妾心，坐愁红颜老！ They hurt me. I grow older. 早晚下三巴，预将书报家。 If you are coming down through the narrows of the river Kiang, Please let me know beforehand, 相迎不道远，直至长风沙。 And I will come out to meet you As far as Cho-fu-Sa.

丝绸的窸瑟声断了， 丝绸的窸瑟声断了， 灰尘飘落在庭院， 灰尘飘落在庭院， 没有落脚之音， 没有落脚之音， 而叶子急急飞落，堆积，悄然倒伏， 而叶子急急飞落，堆积，悄然倒伏， 我心之所欢，居于其下： 她，我心之所欢，居于其下： 一片潮湿的叶子粘在门槛上。 一片潮湿的叶子粘在门槛上。

The River-merchant's wife: A Letter Ezra Pound 妾发初覆额，折花门前剧； While my hair was still cut straight across my forehead I played about the front gate, pulling flowers. 郎骑竹马来，绕床弄青梅。 You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse, You walked about my seat, playing with blue plums. 同居长干里，两小无嫌猜。 And we went on living in the village of Chokan: Two small people, without dislike or suspicion.

十四为君妇，羞颜未尝开。 At fourteen I married My Lord you. I never laughed, being bashful. 低头向暗壁，千唤不一回。 Lowering my head, I looked at the wall. Called to, a thousand times, I never looked back. 十五始展眉，愿同尘与灰。 At fifteen I stopped scowling, I desired my dust to be mingled with yours 常存抱柱信，岂上望夫台。 Forever and forever and forever. Why should I climb the lookout?

Ezra Weston Loomis Pound (30 October 1885 – 1 November 1972) was an American expatriate poet, critic and a major figure of the early modernist movement. His contribution to poetry began with his promotion of Imagism, a movement that derived its technique from classical Chinese and Japanese poetry, stressing clarity, precision and economy of language. His best-known works include Ripostes (1912), Hugh Selwyn Mauberley (1920), and his unfinished 120-section epic, The Cantos (1917–1969).[1]
