次北固山下 － 王湾

客路青山外，行舟绿水前。?     

潮平两岸阔，风正一帆悬。

海日生残夜，江春入旧年。?     

乡书何处达？归雁洛阳边。

A Verse By Wang Wan

(Passing By the Northern Mountains)

I hie by the green mountains of huge height

By boat through th’ water clad in a coat blue.

The rising tide makes th’ river wide in sight.

A hoist’d sail lets th’ tail wind the sailing do.

The sun doth vie with th' fading night for th’ sky,

The coming spring clears the leaving year’s trace.

How could I send words home that’s not nearby?

Wild geese Luoyang-bound please take them apace!

Tr. Ziyuzile
