Sailing Down from Jiangling
At dawn I took leave of Baidi, amidst the rainbow clouds,
A thousand li to Jiangling, and back in just one day.
The gibbons on both banks—their cries went on ceaselessly,
While the light boat had already passed ten thousand layered mountains.
下江陵
朝辭白帝彩雲間，
千里江陵一日還。
兩岸猿聲啼不盡一作「住」，
輕舟已過一作「須臾過卻」萬重山。
