Climbing Mount Xian with Friends
Human affairs have their rise and fall,
comings and goings that make the past and present.
The rivers and mountains leave behind famed sites,
and we, too, come to climb them.
The waters have fallen, and Yuliang lies shallow,
the sky is cold, and Mengze runs deep.
The stele of Lord Yang still stands,
and having read it, my tears soak my robe.
與諸子登峴山
人事有代謝，往來成古今。
江山留勝跡，我輩復登臨。
水落魚梁淺，天寒夢澤深。
羊公碑尚一作「字」在，讀罷淚沾襟。
