Nogi Kanshi poem (poems in the Chinese language) 凱旋/Triumph.

皇師百萬征強虜
野戰攻城屍作山
愧我何顔看父老
凱歌今日幾人還


Million-strong Imperial Army on a crusade against powerful barbarians
the battle and siege resulted in a mountain of dead bodies
I do not want to face those back home for I am ashamed
that in spite of the triumph, so few men have returned
