Du Fu

This morning's scene is good and fine, Long rain has not harmed the land.

— Du Fu

I'm empty, here at the edge of the sky.

— Du Fu

Birds the more white, against green streamWhat day, what day, can I go home?

— Du Fu

Nature ever calls people to liveBy transient rank and honours?

— Du Fu

Clear waters windWhat more could I wish for?

— Du Fu

A visible darkness grows up mountain paths;I have no strength to right the universe.

— Du Fu

Tonight my wife must watch alonewhile the moonlight dries our shining tears?

— Du Fu

Within the vermilion gate, meats and wines go to wasteWhile on the roadside lie the frozen bodies of the poor.

— Du Fu
