Between Jiang Han Rivers

Du Fu 712-770 Between the Jiang and Han rivers         chafes a returning traveler, Between heaven and earth         one no-account scholar. With one slice of cloud         I share the distant heavens, With approaching night          the moon and I                 together alone. With each setting sun          I regain strength, In the autumn wind         from sickness I recover. Since times past         there have been old horses, It's not necessary         for us to gallop long distances.

Jiāng Hàn

Notes: In the last years of his life, Du Fu languished in Sichuan and Hunan, far from the court in Changan where he yearned to serve.
