岳飛 經年塵土滿征衣, 特特尋芳上翠微。 In battle uniform, caked with year-old mud and dust still, Sight-seeing at the Pavilion, I rode straight up the hill.

【池州翠微亭】 南宋 岳飛


經年塵土滿征衣,
特特尋芳上翠微。
好水好山看不足,
馬蹄催趁月明歸。


 

CHI ZHOU CUI WEI TING 
("Cui Wei Pavilion at Chi Zhou")
-- by YUE FEI (1103-1142)
 

-- Translated by Frank C Yue
 
In battle uniform, caked with year-old mud and dust still,
Sight-seeing at the Pavilion, I rode straight up the hill.
All these wondrous scenes, hills and rills, I can't take in out-right!
Now, mounted scouts urge my return at once in moon-light bright.
