Jueju, No. 3 of 4 (Two Golden Orioles Sing in the Green Willows)

By Du Fu
Two (measure word) golden orioles sing green willow One row white egrets on blue sky Window contain west mountain thousand autumn snow Door moor east Wu ten thousand li boat
Two golden orioles sing in the green willows, A row of white egrets against the blue sky. The window frames the western hills' snow of a thousand autumns, At the door is moored, from eastern Wu, a boat of ten thousand li.
