楚江怀古
马戴
露气寒光集， 微阳下楚丘。
猿啼洞庭树， 人在木兰舟。
广泽生明月， 苍山夹乱流。
云中君不见， 竟夕自悲秋。
thoughts of old time on the chu river
ma dai
a cold light shines on the gathering dew,
as sunset fades beyond the southern mountains;
trees echo with monkeys on the banks of lake dongting,
where somebody is moving in an orchid-wood boat.
marsh-lands are swollen wide with the moon,
while torrents are bent to the mountains' will;
and the vanished queens of the clouds leave me
sad with autumn all night long.
