On The Frontier

           Wang Changling

The moon still shines on mountain passes as of yore,

How many guardsmen of the Great Wall are no more!

If the Flying General were still there in command,

No Tartar horses would dare to invade our land.

From 100 Tang and Song Quatrain Masterpieces by Great Poets

初塞

   王昌龄

秦时明月汉时关，

万里长征人未还。

但使龙城飞将在，

不教胡马度阴山。
