《登樓》杜甫 (710-770)

花近高樓傷客心   萬方多難此登臨
錦江春色來天地   玉壘浮雲變古今

北極朝廷終不改   西山寇盜莫相侵
可憐後主還祠廟   日暮聊為梁父吟

《Atop the Tower》Du Fu (710-770)

Seeing flowers stray around the tower my heart grieves
In the chaos I ascend the tower to view all corners
By the River Jin spring colors burst everywhere seen
Above the Jade Mount clouds change as human affairs had been

Stupor is our government unchanging as the North Star
We must stop the forays of foreign invaders and hold them there
Pity the temple of the Late Emperor Liu
In the evening gloom I sing a threnody whence due

《絕句二首》杜甫 (710-770)

（其一）                                                  （其二）

遲日江山麗  春風花草香                    江碧鳥逾白  山青花欲燃
泥融飛燕子  沙暖睡鴛鴦                    今春看又過  何日是歸年

《Two Quatrains》Du Fu

(I)
Under the late setting sun this landscape is beautiful
Vernal breezes fill the air with sweet vegetation scents plentiful
Swallows build nests carrying mud in tiny beaks
On warm sands mandarin ducks nod too content to speak Continue reading →

《歲暮》杜甫 (710-770)

歲暮遠為客  邊隅還用兵
煙塵犯雪嶺  鼓角動江城

天地日流血  朝廷誰請纓
濟時敢愛死  寂寞壯心驚

《Late in the Year》Du Fu

At year-end everyone feels far from home
This war continues where remote frontiers roam
Dusts stirred up by fighting cloud the Snow Mount
The sounds of drums and bugles shiver this river town

Heaven and earth bear witness to bloodshed everyday
Who is able to help keep this conflict at bay
To help win this war death I fear not
In solitude my bravery stops my death-fears not

《古從軍行》                    李颀 (690-751)

白日登山望烽火   黃昏飲馬傍交河
行人刁斗風沙暗   公主琵琶幽怨多

野雲萬里無城郭   雨雪紛紛連大漠
胡雁哀鳴夜夜飛   胡兒眼淚雙雙落

聞道玉門猶被遮   應將性命逐輕車
年年戰骨埋荒外   空見蒲桃入漢家  Continue reading →

《曉煙》

槲葉深黃楓葉紅    老松奇翠欲拏空
朝來別有空濛意    都在蒼煙萬頃中

初陽如月逗輕寒    咫尺林原成遠看
記得江南煙雨裡    小姑鬟影落春瀾

《Hazy Dawn》

Loaming over brown shrubs maple reds shine
Verdant greens in old pines dye up the sky
At dawn there is an air of mystery
The vast country veiled in heavy mist

The rising sun mimics the moon to tease the cool sphere
The tree-lined plain seen from a distance is whole and near
Remember the beauty of the south under misty rains
Maidens stay down river to wash their untied hair-buns in spring Continue reading →
