Middle of Snow Thoughts
Twelfth lunar month, snow one foot thick
Clouds frozen, crazy and persistent cold.
Solitary city wall next to large wetlands
People not around, very few cooking fires with smoke.
Resentments with a loss for words
Sorrow and irritated beyond my control.
Youthful crown prince becomes a new emperor
Official posts for the able and virtuous.
Talk of all the matching of talent to positions
Large or small jobs all carried out.
Open, wide and spacious Ming courtyard
The handsome and talented gathered and cherished.
Like the sun and moon rising again
As husbands and wives are close and cuddled.
Myself, my human talents not good enough
It is appropriate for them to abandon me.
Evil northern enemies break down wall after wall
Heard about three hundred miles of fortifications.
For a long time assume they have not broken apart
Need to be careful of an extensive spy network.
This government official has a long imperial exam essay all composed
Our enemies would gradually fall under our flags.
If they ask for my opinions, I would be fortunate
We could eat their meat while they slept.
My plans never to be heard in the large palace rooms
Do not realize that I am just a speck next to them.
My words always overstep their bounds
Long time catch myself attempting to be a part of important affairs.
Almost time for the twelfth lunar month to expire
Making wine cannot be delayed any more.
For a long time anxiously await for the warm-up of spring
From large earthen jars, wine needs to be poured into the proper vessels.
