唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

華 州
此道昔歸順， 西郊胡正繁。
至今殘破膽， 應有未招魂。
近得歸京邑， 移官豈至尊。
無才日衰老， 駐馬望千門。

原文 108

This is the road by which I fled,
When the rebels had reached the west end of the city;
And terror, ever since, has clutched at my vitals
Lest some of my soul should never return.
...The court has come back now, filling the capital;
But the Emperor sends me away again.
Useless and old, I rein in my horse
For one last look at the thousand gates.

Bynner 108
