楚江懷古
露氣寒光集， 微陽下楚丘。
猿啼洞庭樹， 人在木蘭舟。
廣澤生明月， 蒼山夾亂流。
雲中君不見， 竟夕自悲秋。

THOUGHTS OF OLD TIME
ON THE CHU RIVER
A cold light shines on the gathering dew,
As sunset fades beyond the southern mountains;
Trees echo with monkeys on the banks of Lake Dongting,
Where somebody is moving in an orchid-wood boat.
Marsh-lands are swollen wide with the moon,
While torrents are bent to the mountains’ will;
And the vanished Queens of the Clouds leave me
Sad with autumn all night long.
