王湾: 次北固山下/ Wang Wan: A MOORING UNDER NORTH FORT HILL

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 MOORING UNDER NORTH FORT HILL

Wang Wan

Under blue mountains we wound our way,

My boat and 1, along green water;

Until the banks at low tide widened,

With no wind stirring my lone sail.

...Night now yields to a sea of sun,

And the old year melts in freshets.

At last I can send my messengers --

Wildgeese, homing to Loyang.
