The Tide Pavilion at Chengmai Post
澄迈驿通潮阁二首
A tired wayfarer’s sad his home is far away,
Seeing a pavilion o’er a bridge on his way.
I admire white egrets crossing autumn riverside,
Unaware the green woods are drowned in evening tide.
倦客愁闻归路遥， 眼明飞阁俯长桥。
贪观白鹭横秋浦， 不觉青林没晚潮。
I’d end my life in the village by the South Sea,
The Celestial Court sends a witch to recall me.
Far, far away birds vanish into the low skies，
Beyond a stretch of blue hills the Central Plain lies.
馀生欲老海南村， 帝遣巫阳招我魂。
杳杳天低鹘没处, 青山一发是中原。
