TO A FRIEND BOUND NORTH
AFTER THE REBELLION
In dangerous times we two came south;
Now you go north in safety, without me.
But remember my head growing white among strangers,
When you look on the blue of the mountains of home.
...The moon goes down behind a ruined fort,
Leaving star-clusters above an old gate....
There are shivering birds and withering grasses,
Whichever way I turn my face.

五言律诗
刘禹锡
蜀先主庙
天地英雄气, 千秋尚凛然。
势分三足鼎, 业复五铢钱。
得相能开国, 生儿不象贤。
凄凉蜀故妓, 来舞魏宫前。

Liu Yuxi
IN THE TEMPLE OF THE FIRST KING OF SHU
Even in this world the spirit of a hero
Lives and reigns for thousands of years.
You were the firmest of the pot\’s three legs;
It was you who maintained the honour of the currency;
You chose a great premier to magnify your kingdom....
And yet you had a son so little like his father
That girls of your country were taken captive
To dance in the palace of the King of Wei.

五言律诗
张籍
没蕃故人
前年伐月支, 城下没全师。
蕃汉断消息, 死生长别离。
无人收废帐, 归马识残旗。
欲祭疑君在, 天涯哭此时。
又作戎

IN THE TIBETAN WAR
Last year you went with your troops to Tibet;
And when your men had vanished beyond the citywall,
