Lament for Ten Thousand Men's Graves

The war is ended on the Huai border, and the trading roads are open again;
Stray crows come and go cawing in the wintry sky.
Alas for the white bones heaped together in desolate graves;
All had sought military honors for their leader.

by Chang Pin (9th-10th centuries)
