7. 辛苦遭逢起一经，干戈寥落四周星。 山河破碎风飘絮，身世浮沉雨打萍。 惶恐滩头说惶恐，零丁洋里叹零丁。 人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青。

（宋、文天祥）
月落乌啼霜满天，
江枫渔火对愁眠。
姑苏城外寒山寺，
夜半钟声到客船。
李 白 乘 舟 将 欲 行，
忽 闻 岸 上 踏 歌 声。 桃 花 潭 水 深 千 尺，
不 及 汪 伦 送 我 情。
红豆生南国，
春来发几枝？
愿君多采撷，
此物最相思
少小离家老大回，
　　乡音无改鬓毛衰。
　　儿童相见不相识，
　　笑问客从何处来。
辛苦遭逢起一经，干戈寥落四周星。 山河破碎风飘絮，身世浮沉雨打萍。 惶恐滩头说惶恐，零丁洋里叹零丁。 人生自古谁无死，留取丹心照汗青。
（唐、李白）
