Mountain Canyons West of Chuzhou
滁州西涧
独 怜 幽 草 涧 边 生
上 有 黄 鹂 深 树 鸣。
春 潮 带 雨 晚 来 急
野 渡 无 人 舟 自 横。
Chu Zhou Xi Jian
Du lian you cao jian bian sheng
Shang you huang li shen shu ming.
Chun chao dai yu wan lai ji
Ye du wu ren zhou zi heng.
Mountain Canyons West of Chuzhou
Tenderly love the solitary and secluded grasses living alongside the water
Atop deep and thick trees the yellow orioles sing.
Evening rains arrive suddenly, spring water levels rise
Countryside ferry crossing without anyone, small boat moves across naturally.
Notes:
Chuzhou: city in eastern Anhui province
