The Terracotta Warriors

The Terracotta Warriors
By William He

Ourea watches where the warriors reside,
Seraph spreads the wings and lifts the brows,
Shielding a grace forgotten in the world.
Finding the proper angle,
The combatants in gallant array,
Through their eyes to unawakened earth,
A glittering sword out of the east.
Emitting vapors the pool clear as crystal,
Glimmering Venus sweeps by,
Colored streamers perturb the mind.
What reasons bring the army to the light,
The chariots and horses in full flight,
Slash of swords and thrust of spears.

Clay has been moulded to personalize itself well.
The heavy weight of hours has chained,
The things are not what they seem.
It would be nameless feeling,
Woe and wrath between the spirits,
Listening to the raven cough in the sticks,
Moaning the expense of vanished sight.
Down to river of the dazzling gleam,
Palaces and towers quivering,
There is the Pyrrhic dance as yet.
A split-second image,
A hollow wind does seem to tell,
Where the sweet peace will dwell.

曲隈骊岫。
想青霄驷盖，
拱辰星宿。
影聚焦、
八匹铜骢，
骋姿未蹉跎，
奉宣来骤。
浴日玄池，
金星曳、
流光缠纠。
虎符三眨眼，
鳞甲犹披，
真幻频扣。

谁怜有情土偶。
奈寒阴地古，
绮盼翘首。
甚怆惶、
徭役黔黎，
对落日涔云，
记别离后。
渭水魂游，
度关陇、
秦腔依旧。
分音画、
塞尘一笑，
凤琶九奏。
