《贈與同窗好友_(1906)》 朱德  《To My Classmates_(1906)》 Zhu De

驪歌一曲思無窮  Many thoughts rise after we sang the Auld Lang Syne
今古興亡憶記中  Our motherland had gone through many a fall and rise
污吏豈知清似水  The beauty of pure waters is not known to officials vile
書生便應氣如虹  A learned man should be radiant as a rainbow in high sky
恨他狼虎貪心黑  I hate those greedy villains with dire selfishness
嘆我河山泣淚紅  I sigh seeing my country in teary distress
祖國安危人有責  The security of our motherland is our responsibility
沖天壯志付飛鵬  I mount the sky-bound legendary bird fly ever ready

《蝶戀花·榆林港（一九五九）》葉劍英

日逐寒流尋雁去  風雪關山  不礙雲中路
飛到榆林天已暑   夏秋只隔三朝暮

到鹿回頭濱海處  紅豆離離  佔斷天涯路
淺水藍魚梭樣去   教人疑是龍宮女

《八十書懷》葉劍英

八十毋勞論廢興  長征接力有來人
導師創業垂千古  儕輩跟隨愧望塵
億萬愚公齊破立  五洲權霸共沉淪
老夫喜作黃昏頌  滿目青山夕照明

《Thoughts at Eighty_1977》Ye Jian Ying

At eighty I need not be concerned with successes and failures

《登祝融峰》《On Top of Zhurong Peak》Ye Jian Ying

四顧渺無際 The view is unlimited on all sides
天風吹我衣  My coat flap is blown open by winds high
聽濤起雄心  The roaring sounds in the pines invoke my fighting will
誓盪扶桑兒  I vow to submit the invading dwarfs to kneel

乙酉仲夏五月十七日

《My Fifty-sixth Birthday》Chen Yin Ke

去年病目實已死  My eyes blinded last year a dead man was I
雖號為人與鬼同  Living as man I was in ghostly sight
可笑家人作生日  I laughed when my family held a birthday party for me
宛如設祭奠亡翁  As if an oblate act to enliven an old dead man to be Continue reading →

《憶故居_1945》陳寅恪

渺渺鐘聲出遠方  依依林影萬鴉藏
一生負氣成今日  四海無人對夕陽
破碎山河迎勝利  殘餘歲月送悽涼
松門松菊何年夢  且認他鄉作故鄉

[寒家有先人之敝廬二，一曰崝廬，一曰松門別墅]
