Spring View

On war-torn land stream flow. And mountains stand.

In town unquiet grass and weeds run riot.

Grieved over the years, the flowers are moved to tears.

Seeing us apart, birds cry with broken heart.

The beacon fire has gone higher and higher.

Words from household are worth their weight in gold.

I cannot bear to scratch my grizzled hair.

It grows too thin to hold a light hair pin.

——许渊冲 译

春望

〔唐〕杜甫

国破山河在，城春草木深。

感时花溅泪，恨别鸟惊心。

烽火连三月，家书抵万金。

白头骚更短，浑欲不胜簪。
