(149) At Dawn Atop The Highest Peak Of The Southern Mountain
晨登衡岳祝融峰
Tan Ci-tong (1865-1898)
谭嗣同
Atop the peak I feel not high;
身高殊不觉,
Looking around, I find no crest.
四顾乃无峰。
I only see clouds floating by
但有浮云度,
Now and then purify my breast.
时时一荡胸。
Beyond dark earth stars sink awake;
地沉星尽没,
The sun leaps up like molten gold.
天跃日出熔。
From half the spoon of Dongting Lake
半勺洞庭水,
Dragon would rise in autumn cold.
秋寒欲起龙。
