唐 詩 Tang Shi – 300 Tang poems

書邊事
調角斷清秋， 征人倚戍樓。
春風對青塚， 白日落梁州。
大漠無兵阻， 窮邊有客遊。
蕃情似此水， 長願向南流。

原文 164

Though a bugle breaks the crystal air of autumn,
Soldiers, in the look-out, watch at ease today
The spring wind blowing across green graves
And the pale sun setting beyond Liangzhou.
For now, on grey plains done with war,
The border is open to travel again;
And Tartars can no more choose than rivers:
They are running, all of them, toward the south.

Bynner 164
