《七哀詩(shī)·其三》 王粲
邊城使心悲,昔吾親更之。
冰雪截肌膚,風(fēng)飄無(wú)止期。
百里不見(jiàn)人,草木誰(shuí)當(dāng)遲。
登城望亭燧,翩翩飛戍旗。
行者不顧反,出門與家辭。
子弟多俘虜,哭泣無(wú)已時(shí)。
天下盡樂(lè)土,何為久留茲?
蓼蟲(chóng)不知辛,去來(lái)勿與諮。
Lamentations

The tiny border city makes me sad,
Where I once stayed and things were very bad.
The ice and snow would cut into the skin
And chilly winds would often have set in.
Since not a soul is seen for miles around,
Where on earth are woodsmen to be found?
When I watch the beacon tower from the wall,
I see the army banners large and small.
Never knowing if they might return,
The soldiers leave their homes with deep concern.
So many soldiers become prisoners of war
That like floods their tears will pour and pour.
As happy lands are everywhere on earth,
Why abide in land that knows no mirth?
The natives hardened by a life severe
Do not care if they ever leave here.
