王維 天官動將星，漢上柳條青。萬里鳴刁斗，三軍出井陘。As the Marshall's Constellation is moving seen, All the fine willow leaves in Han land are still green.

【送趙都督赴代州得青字】唐 • 王維           
 

天官動將星，    
漢上柳條青。
萬里鳴刁斗，    
三軍出井陘。
忘身辭鳳闕，    
報國取龍庭。
豈學書生輩，    
窗間老一經。
 

Farewell to Marshall Zhao Leading the Armies to Daizhou (Shanxi)
(I drew the character "Green" for rhyming purposes)  

-- by WANG WEI (701-761)  
-- Translated by Frank C Yue
 
As the Marshall's Constellation is moving seen,           
All the fine willow leaves in Han land are still "Green".
Martial curfews are sounded for thousands of miles;
The great armies march past Jingxing Gate in neat files.
From the palace he makes haste, himself to forsake;
For his country, the Mongul's Sacred Altar he'll take.
O! Him acting like young scholars, you shall ne'er find,
Expending one's energies on a classical work for a life-time!
