野望 Viewing the Plain

西 山 白 雪 三 城 戍

White snow lies on the western hills by the three walled cities,

南 浦 清 江 万 里 桥

To the south, from the clear river's bank, stretches the thousand li bridge.

海 内 风 尘 诸 弟 隔

In this world of war and confusion, I'm cut off from my brothers,

天 涯 涕 泪 一 身 遥

Standing alone at the end of the sky, I weep for distant places.

惟 将 迟 暮 供 多 病

Past my prime, all I have to offer is this sick body,

未 有 涓 挨 答 圣 朝

I have no trickle or mote of strength with which to repay the emperor.

跨 马 出 郊 时 极 目

On my horse, outwith the city, at times I gaze afar,

不 堪 人 事 日 萧 条

I cannot bear our condition, which daily grows more desolate.
