سماع نبأ استعادة الجيش الإمبراطوري لخنان وخبي / Hearing the News that the Imperial Army Has Recovered Henan and Hebei

Beyond the Sword Pass came sudden word: Ji North reclaimed!

At first I heard it, tears and snot soaked my gown.

I turned to look—where was my wife's and children's grief?

I swept up my poems and books, wild with joy.

By daylight I must sing and drink my fill;

With the green spring as my companion, I'll go home.

Straight from Ba Gorge I'll thread Wu Gorge,

Then down to Xiangyang, and on to Luoyang.
