《 从军行》 其四

王昌龄

青海长云暗雪山，孤城遥望玉门关。

黄沙百战穿金甲，不破楼兰终不还。

Heavy clouds over the Blue Sea darken the snowy mountains; 

The Yumen Pass looks far, far away from our lonely garrison town。

Our armor is worn  and torn after many heroic battles in the desert;

We swear, however, not returning home before defeating the Loulan.
