Out Beyond the Passes

王昌龄Tang dynastyseven-character quatrain
SOURCE TEXT · 中文原文
秦时明月汉时关,
万里长征人未还;
但使龙城飞将在,
不教胡马渡阴山。
English translation

Out Beyond the Passes

The bright moon of Qin, the frontier pass of Han;
from the march of ten thousand li the men have not returned.
If only the Flying General of Longcheng were here,
he would not let the Hu horses cross the Yin Mountains.
