Remembering the Past at the Chu River (Ma Dai)
Dew and chill light gather,
the fading sun descends the Chu hills.
Monkeys cry among the trees of Dongting,
a man drifts in a magnolia boat.
Over vast marshes the bright moon rises,
dark mountains hem in the rushing streams.
The Lord of the Clouds I do not see—
all night long, alone, I grieve at autumn.
楚江懷古 (馬戴)
露氣寒光集，微陽下楚丘。
猿啼洞庭樹，人在木蘭舟。
廣澤生明月，蒼山夾亂流。
雲中君不見，竟夕自悲秋。
