别房太尉墓
杜甫
他乡复行役, 驻马别孤坟。
近泪无乾土, 低空有断云。
对棋陪谢傅, 把剑觅徐君。
唯见林花落, 莺啼送客闻。
ON LEAVING THE TOMB OF PREMIER FANG
Du Fu
Having to travel back now from this far place,
I dismount beside your lonely tomb.
The ground where I stand is wet with my tears;
The sky is dark with broken clouds....
I who played chess with the great Premier
Am bringing to my lord the dagger he desired.
But I find only petals falling down,
I hear only linnets answering.
