《汉江临眺》 王维
楚塞三湘接，
荆门九派通。
江流天地外，
山色有无中。
郡邑浮前浦，
波澜动远空。
襄阳好风日，
留醉与山翁。
Viewing the Hanjiang River
And thus it joins the frontiers of Chu with Xiang,
And all nine branches through the great Chang Jiang.
The torrents seem beyond the world to flow,
The distant hills more fade away than show.
The neighbouring cities all on billows ride,
The massive waves are surging far and wide.
What lovely weather here in Xiangyang! Well,
Let’s stay and find a park and drink like hell!
