王维·《渡河到清河作》英译

泛舟大河里。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

积水穷天涯。

天波忽开拆。

郡邑千万家。

行复见城市。

宛然有桑麻。

回瞻旧乡国。

淼漫连云霞。

Going to Qinghe by Boat

Great is the body of waters we sail,

Extending to the end of world. Behold,

Where the heavenly waves divide near a dale

A mighty city stands out so bold!

When this is passed, another town

’Mid shadows of mulberries and hemp appears.

I turn to see my home, but frown—

The clouds high up are blocking the rears!
