While I watch the long river always rolling on.
I have come three thousand miles away. Sad now with autumn
And with my hundred years of woe, I climb this height alone.
Ill fortune has laid a bitter frost on my temples,
Heart-ache and weariness are a thick dust in my wine.

七言律诗
杜甫
登楼
花近高楼伤客心, 万方多难此登临。
锦江春色来天地, 玉垒浮云变古今。
北极朝庭终不改, 西山寇盗莫相侵。
可怜后主还祠庙, 日暮聊为梁父吟。

FROM AN UPPER STORY
Flowers, as high as my window, hurt the heart of a wanderer
For I see, from this high vantage, sadness everywhere.
The Silken River, bright with spring, floats between earth and heaven
Like a line of cloud by the Jade Peak, between ancient days and now.
...Though the State is established for a while as firm as the North Star
And bandits dare not venture from the western hills,
Yet sorry in the twilight for the woes of a longvanished Emperor,
I am singing the song his Premier sang when still unestranged from the mountain.

七言律诗
杜甫
宿府
清秋幕府井梧寒, 独宿江城蜡炬残。
永夜角声悲自语, 中天月色好谁看?
风尘荏苒音书绝, 关塞萧条行陆难。
已忍伶俜十年事, 强移栖息一枝安。
又作路

STAYING AT THE GENERAL\’S HEADQUARTERS
The autumn night is clear and cold in the lakka-trees of this courtyard.
I am lying forlorn in the river-town. I watch my guttering candle.
