On Yueyang Tower
Former hear Dongting water Now climb Yueyang tower Wu Chu east south separate Heaven earth day night float Family friend without one word Old sick have single boat War horse pass mountain north Lean rail tears flow
Of old I heard of the waters of Dongting lake, Now I've climbed to the top of Yueyang tower. Here Wu and Chu are split to east and south, Here heaven and earth are floating day and night. From family and friends comes not a single word, Old and sick, I have one solitary boat. War horses are riding north of the mountain pass, I lean on the railing as tears flow down.
