白雪歌送武判官归京-Song of White Snow in Farewell to Secretary Wu Going Back to the Capital
白雪歌送武判官归京
岑参
北风卷地白草折，胡天八月即飞雪。
忽如一夜春风来，千树万树梨花开。
散入珠帘湿罗幕，狐裘不暖锦衾薄。
将军角弓不得控，都护铁衣冷难著。
瀚海阑干百丈冰，愁云惨淡万里凝。
中军置酒饮归客，胡琴琵琶与羌笛。
纷纷暮雪下辕门，风掣红旗冻不翻。
轮台东门送君去，去时雪满天山路。
山回路转不见君，雪上空留马行处。
Song of White Snow in Farewell to Secretary Wu
Going Back to the Capital
Cen Shen
The north wind whirls round the ground， breaking the white grass；
In Tartar， an eighth moon snowing has come to pass.
As if the spring breeze suddenly came back o’ernight
To turn thousands of pear trees here in full bloom white.
Snowflakes spread through pearl curtains and make silk
screens wet；
From no fox furs nor brocade quilts can one warmth get.
The general can hardly have his horn bow drawn；
The commissioner’s armour’s too cold to put on.
O’er the vast desert， hundred-zhang ice lies wavy；
Ten-thousand-li bleak clouds condense and look heavy.
In the head-quarters， we drink to our homebound guest；
Huqins， pipas and Qiang flutes are played to their best.
O’er the camp gate is densely falling evening snow；
The frozen flags won’t flutter， though the winds hard blow.
At the east gate of Luntai we bid you good-bye；
On the Tian Mount’s paths heavy snows everywhere lie.
A few turns of the Mount soon make you disappear；
In vain are your horse-hoof prints left in the snow here.
