From the Chinese
WITH its three Hsiang branches it reaches Ch’u border | |
| And with nine streams touches the gateway of Ching: | |
| This river runs beyond heaven and earth, | |
| Where the color of mountains both is and is not. | |
| The dwellings of men seem floating along | 5 |
| On ripples of the distant sky…. | |
| O Hsiang-yang, how your beautiful days | |
| Make drunken my old mountain-heart! | | | | |
