唐詩三百首英譯 溫庭筠：囌武廟

七言律詩

溫庭筠

囌武廟

囌武魂銷漢使前， 古祠高樹兩茫然。

雲邊雁斷衚天月， 隴上羊歸塞草菸。

廻日樓台非甲帳， 去時冠劍是丁年。

茂陵不見封侯印， 空曏鞦波哭逝川。

THE TEMPLE OF SU WU

Though our envoy， Su Wu， is gone， body and soul，

This temple survives， these trees endure……

Wildgeese through the clouds are still calling to the moon there

And hill-sheep unshepherded graze along the border.

……Returning， he found his country changed

Since with youthful cap and sword he had left it.

His bitter adventures had won him no title……

Autumn-waves endlessly sob in the river.
