On a hike
Flames of signals over the western capital.
Immediately at heart, of course, from the bottom of anxiety.
The commander’s badge is taken out of the Palace Gates.
We put equestrian latniks around the Dragon Walls.
In the crown of the blizzard, the patterns of the banners faded.
In the wind, a drum beat is heard all the time ...
Still, on a campaign to command just a hundred
Better than sitting at home alone at the book!- Translation by L. Eidlin
