View of Changjiang from Bai Juyi's Temple in Zhongxian
The Spring River
|
Bai Juyi 772-846
Heart and cold
dusk and dawn have crowded one upon the other;
Suddenly I find it is two years since I came to Zhongzhou.
Through my closed doors
I hear nothing but the morning and everning drum;
From my upper windows
all I see is the ships that come and go.
In vain the orioles tempt me with their song
to stray beneath the flowering trees;
In vain the grasses lure me
by their colour to sit beside the pond.
There is one thing and one alone I never tire of watching--
The spring river
as it trickles over the stones and babbles past the rocks.

Yán liáng hūn xiǎo kǔ tuī qiān,
Bùjué Zhōngzhōu yǐ èr nián.
Bì gé zhǐ tīng zhāo mù gǔ,
Shàng lóu kōng wàng wǎnglái chuán.
Yīng shēng yòuyǐn lái huā xià,
Cǎo sè jù liú zuò shuǐ biān.
Wéi yǒu chūn jiāng kàn wèi yàn,
Yíng shā rào shí lù chán yuán.
