[聞道今春雁]
by Du Fu聞道今春雁
南歸自廣州
旄頭彗紫微
無複俎豆事
[I hear the geese migrate strangely this spring]
by Du FuI hear the geese migrate strangely this spring
they fly further south past even Guangzhou
since the comet foretold An Lushan’s rebellion
ritual vessels have sat unused in the temple
translated from Chinese by George Life
