Crossing the Yangtze

Ding Xianzhi fl. 713-741 My oars of cassia I gaze from midstream The sky and waves and both shores are clear The treeline parts at the Yangtze ferry Hills rise up from the Junzhou walls The edge of the sea is dark and silent A chill wind comes from the river's cold Again I hear maple leaves falling The brittle sounds of another autumn

Dù Yángzǐ Jiāng

Dīng Xiānzhī fl. 713-741 Guì jí zhōng liú wàng， Kōng bō liǎng àn míng. Lín kāi Yángzǐ yì， Shān chū Rùnzhōu chéng. Hǎi jìn biān yīn jìng， Jiāng hán shuò chuī shēng. Gèng wén fēng yè xià， Xīlì dù qiū shēng.

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.
