The unseated are promoted and exiles are recalled,
Corruptions are abolished, clean officers appointed.
My superior sent my name in but the governor would not listen
And has only transferred me to this barbaric place.
My rank is very low and useless to refer to;
They might punish me with lashes in the dust of the street.
Most of my fellow exiles are now returning home --
A journey which, to me, is a heaven beyond climbing.\"
...Stop your song, I beg you, and listen to mine,
A song that is utterly different from yours:
\"Tonight is the loveliest moon of the year.
All else is with fate, not ours to control;
But, refusing this wine, may we choose more tomorrow?\"

七言古诗
韩愈
谒衡岳庙遂宿岳寺题门楼
五岳祭秩皆三公, 四方环镇嵩当中。
火维地荒足妖怪, 天假神柄专其雄。
喷云泄雾藏半腹, 虽有绝顶谁能穷?
我来正逢秋雨节, 阴气晦昧无清风。
潜心默祷若有应, 岂非正直能感通?
须臾静扫众峰出, 仰见突兀撑青空。
紫盖连延接天柱, 石廪腾掷堆祝融。
森然魄动下马拜, 松柏一迳趋灵宫。
纷墙丹柱动光彩, 鬼物图画填青红。
升阶伛偻荐脯酒, 欲以菲薄明其衷。
庙内老人识神意, 睢盱侦伺能鞠躬。
手持杯珓导我掷, 云此最吉余难同。
窜逐蛮荒幸不死, 衣食才足甘长终。
侯王将相望久绝, 神纵欲福难为功。
夜投佛寺上高阁, 星月掩映云曈昽。
猿鸣钟动不知曙, 杲杲寒日生于东。

STOPPING AT A TEMPLE ON HENG MOUNTAIN I
INSCRIBE THIS POEM IN THE GATE-TOWER
The five Holy Mountains have the rank of the Three Dukes.
The other four make a ring, with the Song Mountain midmost.
To this one, in the fire-ruled south, where evil signs are rife,
Heaven gave divine power, ordaining it a peer.
