Wen Tianxiang

For Mother

Wen Tianxiang (1236-1283)
 
 
This noble wife and mother’s time has come
To rise for heaven in the gods’ embrace;
Her grave forever near the hare and fox,
With tears that feel like hail upon my face.

Fresh Wood (for Luo Xue)

Wen Tianxiang (1236-1283)
 
 
A sigh, sigh sound from woods up high to low;
We close the gate and cover up with fur—
Spring feelings flow along the mountain gorge;
At dawn I rise to touch and look at her.
 
 

Chinese   贈羅雪崖樵青 文天祥   蕭蕭山下人 閉門衣裘單 春心動溪谷 曉起捫松看
