Yellow Crane Tower

Yellow Crane Tower

by Cui Hao/ 唐一鹤 译

Gone was the ancient celestial

riding the yellow crane away.

Here is the vacant Yellow Crane Tower

left and stay.

The yellow crane, once having gone away,

will never come back again.

White clouds floating about for thousands of years

on and on aimlessly remain.

Trees by the sun-lit stream in Hanyang

are clear and bright.

Lush and green are the fragrant grasses

on the Parrot Isle.

The sun setting,

where's my place native?

Misty waves on the stream

make me plaintive!

黄鹤楼_

作者：崔颢

昔人已乘黄鹤去，此地空余黄鹤楼。 黄鹤一去不复返，白云千载空悠悠。 晴川历历汉阳树，芳草萋萋鹦鹉洲。 日暮乡关何处是？烟波江上使人愁。
