蘇武廟

معبد سو وو / Temple of Su Wu

Su Wu's soul was spent before the Han envoy's arrival;

The ancient shrine and tall trees both stand in silent oblivion.

Beyond the clouds, wild geese cut off beneath the Hu sky's moon;

Upon the Long plateau, sheep return through border grass and mist.

When he returned, the terraces and towers were no longer his lord's tent;

When he left, his cap and sword marked the prime of his years.

No marquis' seal was granted at Maoling's tomb;

In vain he weeps toward autumn waves for the river of passing time.
