When autumn comes to the frontier①， the scene looks drear②，
South-bound wildgeese won’t stay
E’en for a day.
An uproar③ rises with horns blowing far and near
Walled in by peaks④， smoke rises straight
At sunset over isolate town with fastened gate.
I hold a cup of wine， yet home is faraway，
The Northwest is not won and I’m obliged to stay.
At the flutes’ doleful⑤ sound
Over frost-covered ground，
None fall asleep，
The general’s hair turns white and soldiers weep.

范仲淹
塞下秋来风景异，
衡阳雁去无留意。
四面边声连角起。
千嶂里，
长烟落日孤城闭。
浊酒一杯家万里，
燕然未勒归无计，
羌管悠悠霜满地。
人不寐，
将军白发征夫泪。
