华夏集 Cathay 07

Lament of the Frontier Guard




By the North Gate, the wind blows full of sand,
Lonely from the beginning of time until now!
Trees fall, the grass goes yellow with autumn.
I climb the towers and towers
to watch out the barbarous land:
Desolate castle, the sky, the wide desert.
There is no wall left to this village.
Bones white with a thousand frosts,
High heaps, covered with trees and grass;
Who brought this to pass?
Who has brought the flaming imperial anger?
Who has brought the army with drums and with kettle-drums?
Barbarous kings.
A gracious spring, turned to blood-ravenous autumn,
A turmoil of wars-men, spread over the middle kingdom,
Three hundred and sixty thousand,
And sorrow, sorrow like rain.
Sorrow to go, and sorrow, sorrow returning,
Desolate, desolate fields,
And no children of warfare upon them,
No longer the men for offence and defence.
Ah, how shall you know the dreary sorrow at the North Gate,
With Rihoku's name forgotten,
And we guardsmen fed to the tigers.
Rihaku.


古风其十四
作者：李白      朝代：唐朝
胡关饶风沙。
萧索竟终古。
木落秋草黄。
登高望戎虏。
荒城空大漠。
边邑无遗堵。
白骨横千霜。
嵯峨蔽榛莽。
借问谁凌虐。
天骄毒威武。
赫怒我圣皇。
劳师事鼙鼓。
阳和变杀气。
发卒骚中土。
三十六万人。
哀哀泪如雨。
且悲就行役。
安得营农圃。
不见征戍儿。
岂知关山苦。
李牧今不在。
边人饲豺虎。
