渡扬子江

丁仙芝[1]

桂楫[2]中流[3]望,

空波[4]两畔[5]明,

林开扬子驿[6],

山出润州城[7]。

海尽[8]边阴静,

江寒朔吹[9]生。

更闻枫叶下[10],

淅沥[11]度[12]秋声。

Crossing the Yangzi River

Ding Xianzhi

At midstream I rest on my oars,

And see clear waves brighten the shores.

Northern forest looks like a crown,

In southern mountains stands the town.

The sea ends by shady frontier;

The river’s cold with north wind drear.

I hear more falling maple leaves;

They drizzle as if autumn grieves.
