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.
