A SPRING VIEW
Though a country be sundered, hills and rivers endure;
And spring comes green again to trees and grasses
Where petals have been shed like tears
And lonely birds have sung their grief.
...After the war-fires of three months,
One message from home is worth a ton of gold.
...I stroke my white hair. It has grown too thin
To hold the hairpins any more.

五言律诗
杜甫
春宿左省
花隐掖垣暮, 啾啾栖鸟过。
星临万户动, 月傍九霄多。
不寝听金钥, 因风想玉珂。
明朝有封事, 数问夜如何。

A NIGHT-VIGIL IN THE LEFT COURT OF THE PALACE
Flowers are shadowed, the palace darkens,
Birds twitter by for a place to perch;
Heaven\’s ten thousand windows are twinkling,
And nine cloud-terraces are gleaming in the moonlight.
...While I wait for the golden lock to turn,
I hear jade pendants tinkling in the wind....
I have a petition to present in the morning,
All night I ask what time it is.

五言律诗
杜甫
至德二载甫自京金光门出,问道归凤翔。乾元初从左拾遗移华州掾。与亲故别,因出此门。有悲往事。
此道昔归顺, 西郊胡正繁。
至今残破胆, 应有未招魂。
近得归京邑, 移官岂至尊。
无才日衰老, 驻马望千门。
