五言律詩 王灣 次北固山下

客路青山外, 行舟綠水前。
潮平兩岸闊, 風正一帆懸。
海日生殘夜, 江春入舊年。
鄉書何處達? 歸雁洛陽邊。

Wang Wan A MOORING UNDER NORTH FORT HILL

Under blue mountains we wound our way,
My boat and 1, along green water;
Until the banks at low tide widened,
With no wind stirring my lone sail.
...Night now yields to a sea of sun,
And the old year melts in freshets.
At last I can send my messengers --
Wildgeese, homing to Loyang.
