韩偓·《自沙县抵龙溪县，值泉州军过后，村落皆空，因有一绝》英译

水自潺湲日自斜，尽无鸡犬有鸣鸦。

千村万落如寒食，不见人烟空见花。

Villages Deserted after the March of Troops

Han Wo

The streams still flush and the sun still slants,

All cocks and dogs are mute, but still croak the crows.

All the villages seem to keep the Cold Repast;

No people could be seen, but merely flowers.
