⬅️宋词 Ci Poems


死去元知万事空,但悲不见九州同

示儿
陆游

死去元知万事空,
但悲不见九州同。
王师北定中原日,
家祭无忘告乃翁。

The Last Word To My Son
by Lu You (1125-1210 AD)

Upon death that I am aware everything ends in vain,
But it's a grieve to see the country not yet united.
On the day the imperial army recover the lost land in north,
Forget not to tell your old man in the sacrifice rite.
