杜甫

登岳陽樓

昔聞洞庭水， 今上岳陽樓。

吳楚東南坼， 乾坤日夜浮。

親朋無一字， 老病有孤舟。

戎馬關(guān)山北， 憑軒涕泗流。

Du Fu

ON THE GATE-TOWER AT YOUZHOU

I had always heard of Lake Dongting ——

And now at last I have climbed to this tower.

With Wu country to the east of me and Chu to the south，

I can see heaven and earth endlessly floating.

……But no word has reached me from kin or friends.

I am old and sick and alone with my boat.

North of this wall there are wars and mountains ——

And here by the rail how can I help crying？
