离离原上草，一岁一枯荣。
野火烧不尽，春风吹又生。
远芳侵古道，晴翠接荒城。
又送王孙去，萋萋满别情。

English Meaning
Lush, lush the grass on the old plain — each year it withers and grows again. Wildfire cannot burn it out; spring winds breathe it back to life. Its far fragrance invades the ancient road; sunlit green meets the ruined town. Once more I see a friend off: the dense grass is brimming with parting sorrow.
