The great PoyangHu by Xieshan
Autumn Day on the Lake

Xue Ying fl. 850
Sailing on the Great at sunset
Mist and waves and everywhere sorrow
Rising and falling events of the past
Who can tell me why they flow east

Luò rì Wǔhú yóu,
Yān bō chùchù chóu.
Fú chén qiāngǔ shì,
Shuí yǔ wèn dōng liú.

Notes: From the book Poems of the Masters, China's Classic Anthology of Tang and Song Dynasty verse. One of the best, if not "the best", books of general translations of Chinese poetry. Wonderfully detailed notes on each poem and all poems are displayed in the original Chinese.
Translated by Red Pine, published by Copper Canyon Press.
