Upon Pillows
枕 上
枕 上 三 更 雨
天 涯 万 里 游。
虫 声 憎 好 梦
灯 影 伴 孤 愁。
报 国 计 安 出
灭 胡 心 未 休。
明 年 起 飞 将
更 试 北 平 秋。
Zhen Shang
Zhen shang san geng you
Tian ya wan li you.
Chong sheng zeng hao meng
Deng ying ban gu chou.
Bao guo ji an chu
Mie hu xin wei xiu.
Ming nian qi fei jiang
Geng shi bei ping chou.
Upon Pillows
Upon pillows, several hourly periods of nighttime rain
Traveled thousands of miles to the ends of the earth.
Good dreams hate the sounds of insects
Lantern shadows are the companions of the sad and solitary.
How many plans can one have to serve a country turning back to peace?
My heart-mind has yet to stop wanting to extinguish the northern nomad threat.
Next year hope and anticipate a soaring into the future
Change of northern strategies can bring a peaceful and ordinary autumn.
