黄昏心独愁。
燕山对古刹,
At dusk my lonely heart is sad and sour. Mount Yan faces a shrine of ancient days;
代郡隐城楼。
屡战桥恒断,
I can hardly see the county gate tower. The bridges are oft destroyed in times of war;
长冰堑不流。
天云如地阵,
The ice upon the moat is shining bright. The clouds are looming like a phalanx of corps;
汉月带胡秋。
溃土泥函谷,
The northern moon of Han is cold at night. With some mud I’ll block the
援绳缚凉州。
平生燕颔相,
Hangu Pass; With a rope I’ll tie the Liangzhou town.
