I Pass the Night at General Headquarters
A clear night in harvest time.
In courtyard at headquarters
The wu-tung trees grow cold.
In the city by the river
I wake alone by a guttering
Candle. All night long bugle
Calls disturb my thoughts. The splendor
Who bothers to look at it?
Whirlwinds of dust, I cannot write.
The frontier pass is unguarded.
It is dangerous to travel.
Ten years wandering, sick at heart.
I perch here like a bird on a
Twig, thankful for a moment’s peace.
Homecoming---Late at Night
Nightfall. I return from a
Journey along the Tigers’
Trail. The mountains are black.
Everybody is at home
Asleep. The Great Bear descends
To the river. Overhead
The stars are huge in the sky.
When I light the lamps at my
Door, a frightened gibbon cries
Out in the ravine. I hear
The whitehaired watchman on his
Round calling out the hour.
Stick in hand, he keeps
Guard and all is safe.
Stars and Moon on the River
The autumn night is clear
After the thunderstorm.
Venus glows on the river.
The Milky Way is white as snow.
The dark sky is vast and deep.
The Northern Crown sets in the dusk.
The moon like a clear mirror
Rises form the great void. When it
Has climbed high in the sky, moonlit
Frost glitters on the chrysanthemums.
Brimming Water
Under my feet the moon
Glides along the river.
Near midnight, a gusty lantern
Shines in the heart of night.
Along the sandbars flocks
Of white egrets roost,
Each one clenched like a fist.
In the wake of my barge
The fish leap, cut the water,
And dive and splash.
參考答案:宿府
清秋幕府井梧寒，独宿江城蜡炬残。
永夜角声悲自语，中天月色好谁看？
风尘荏苒音书绝，关塞萧条行陆难。
已忍伶俜十年事，强移栖息一枝安。
夜归
夜来归来冲虎过，山黑家中已眠卧。傍见北斗向江低，
仰看明星当空大。庭前把烛嗔两炬，峡口惊猿闻一个。
白头老罢舞复歌，杖藜不睡谁能那。
江边星月
骤雨清秋夜，金波耿玉绳。天河元自白，江浦向来澄。
映物连珠断，缘空一镜升。馀光隐更漏，况乃露华凝。
漫成一绝
江月去人只数尺，风灯照夜欲三更。
沙头宿鹭联拳静，船尾跳鱼拨剌鸣
