澄迈驿通潮阁二首 –
蘇軾 其二
余生欲老海南村，帝遣巫阳招我魂。
杳杳天低鹘没处，青山一发是中原。
Tide Pavilion at Chengmai by Su Shi
Though I’ll age in Hainan till my life doth finish,
I wish a witch from on high might summon my soul.
At far horizon where the vultures vanish,
'Tis Mid-Kingdom with many a green hill and knoll.
V2
Though I’ll age in Hainan till my life doth finish,
My wish of a summon from on high won’t minish.
Lo, 'tis Middle-Kingdom with many green high hills,
At far horizon where the vultures vanish.
Tr. Ziyuzile
