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.
