望洞庭 – （唐）劉禹錫

湖光秋月兩相和，潭面無風鏡未磨。

遙望洞庭山水翠，白銀盤裏一青螺。

Gazing at Dongting Lake – Liu Yuxi (Tang Dynasty)

Breezeless, the lustrous lake and fall moon tryst at will,

The water seems like a looking-glass sans polish.

O, look, the glistening Dongting and the green hill,

As if a conch shell sits on a dish silverish.

Tr. Ziyuzile
