杜甫
月夜憶舍弟
戍鼓斷人行， 秋邊一雁聲。
露從今夜白， 月是故鄉明。
有弟皆分散， 無家問死生。
寄書長不達， 況乃未休兵。

REMEMBERING MY BROTHERS ON A MOONLIGHT NIGHT
A wanderer hears drums portending battle.
By the first call of autumn from a wildgoose at the border,
He knows that the dews tonight will be frost.
…How much brighter the moonlight is at home!
O my brothers, lost and scattered,
What is life to me without you?
Yet if missives in time of peace go wrong —
What can I hope for during war?
