战云暂敛残春在，重炮清歌两寂然。我亦无诗送归棹，但从心底祝平安。		War’s clouds have paused a moment; the ruined spring remains. Heavy cannon, clear songs – both have fallen silent. I too have no poems to bid your ship farewell, but, from my heart’s depths – I wish you peace.

Lu Xun (1881-1936)

战云暂敛残春在，

重炮清歌两寂然。

我亦无诗送归棹，

但从心底祝平安。

War’s clouds have paused a moment; the ruined spring remains.

Heavy cannon, clear songs – both have fallen silent.

I too have no poems to bid your ship farewell,

but, from my heart’s depths – I wish you peace.
