Marching On The Ninth Day Of The Ninth Month Thinking Of The Changan Homeland

By Cen Shen
Translated from Chinese by Jeffrey Yang
A strong desire to climb high          No one
comes to offer wine            So forlorn for
distant               homeland chrysanthemums
that must be in bloom     near a field of war

 

English
