Autumn Meditations (1)

 Jade dew wither wound maple forest
 Wu mountain wu gorge air desolate and dreary
 River on wave meet sky surge
 Pass on wind cloud join earth dark
 Shrub chrysanthemum two open it day tear
 Single boat one link hometown heart
 Cold clothes place place urge knife measure
 Baidicheng high urgent evening flat stone 


 Jade dew withers and wounds the groves of maple trees,
 On Wu mountain, in Wu gorge, the air is dull and drear.
 On the river surging waves rise to meet the sky,
 Above the pass wind and cloud join the earth with darkness.
 Chrysanthemum bushes open twice, weeping for their days,
 A lonely boat, a single line, my heart is full of home.
 Winter clothes everywhere are urgently cut and measured,
 Baidicheng above, the evening's driven by beating on stones.
