“Yellow Crane Tower” by CUI Hao
崔顥《黃鶴樓》
昔人已乘黃鶴去，
此地空余黃鶴樓。
黃鶴一去不復(fù)返，
白云千載空悠悠。
晴川歷歷漢陽(yáng)樹，
芳草萋萋鸚鵡洲。
日暮鄉(xiāng)關(guān)何處是？
煙波江上使人愁。

Our immortal flew away on the back of a yellow crane;
Now all that’s left is Yellow Crane Tower here.
The yellow crane is not coming back again;
We see white clouds for thousands of years.
We make out trees in Hanyang on a sunny day,
And Parrot Isle lush and clear.
But where is home at the end of the day?
Mist over the river brings up tears.
