Du Fu Beyond The Border No.7 As Forward Our Horses We Are Urging 杜甫 驅馬天雨雪 軍行入高山 Poem by Frank Yue

Beyond The Border NO.7 (OF 9)
- Du Fu

As forward our horses we are urging
Heavily it snows;
The army is marching
Through mountainous terrain.
The treacherous path winds around cold precipices;
Sometimes, with frozen fingers we grab the icy crevices.

Since we left home it was a long time ago -
When will we finish building
The fort and home be able to go?
The swift clouds are drifting
South when Evening falls,
O! Only if we could grasp them and return home for us all!

前出塞其七
- 杜甫

驅馬天雨雪， 軍行入高山。
徑危抱寒石， 指落冰層間。
已去漢月遠， 何時築城還？
浮雲暮南征， 可望不可攀！
