《送崔融》 杜审言
君王行出将,书记远从征。
祖帐连河阙,军麾动洛城。
旌旗朝朔气,笳吹夜边声。
坐觉烟尘扫,秋风古北平。
Farewell to Secretary Cui
Du Shenyan
The general by royal decree
Goes to war wit his secretary.
Tents spread as far as riverside;
Flags fly over the town far and wide.
At dawn you breathe northern air drear;
At night you blow horns on frontier,
War dust will soon be swept away;
Autumn breeze will bring peaceful day.
