     The empire still full of arms,
     At this edge of the world, the year again renewed.
     The dragon has shifted, leaving fish and turtles lost;
     The sun eclipsed, unicorns are fighting.
     Brambles amid grasses, these desolate hills are snowy;
     In my old garden, mist and flowers mark the spring.
     Here in Liao-chʻeng, a moon out tonight,
     I feel disconsolate still away from home.
