前出塞九首

（二）

出门日已远，不受徒旅欺。

骨肉恩岂断，男儿死无时!

走马脱辔头，手中挑青丝。

捷下万仞冈，俯身试搴旗。

（2）

Long since I left home, so

No more a raw recruit;

The warmth of family love

Still remains with me, though

I know that at any moment

I might die; bridle falling off,

Reins still in my hand，

Or when leaping down a hillside

To seize the enemy flag below.
