Fan Chengda: Suzhou

Suzhou

宿 州

狐 鸣 鬼 啸 夜 茫 茫
元 是 官 军 旧 战 场。
土 伯 不 能 藏 碧 燐
三 三 两 照 两 前 风。

Su Zhou

Hu ming gui xiao ye mang mang
Yuan shi guan jun zhan chang.
Tu bo bu neng zang bi lin
San san liang zhao liang qian feng.

Suzhou

Evening foxes cry out and howl with spirit across the vastness
In the past this level ground essential for the palace guard.
Local land gods not able to bury the bones of the dead
In twos and threes they lie about in the strong winds.
