老年人 朝看晨光透柳條 暮觀霞彩染西霄 I watch the first light in the morning Among the willow ribbons peeping

《七絕~江南居》老年人

     朝看晨光透柳條，

     暮觀霞彩染西霄；

     一湖碧水盈盈綠，

     半岫煙雲寂寂飄。

"Living in Jiangnan"

-- by One Old Man

-- Translated by Frank C Yue

I watch the first light in the morning

Among the willow ribbons peeping;

Burning evening clouds I admire,

That set all the western skies on fire.

Brimming lake water aquamarine,

O It is so soothingly green;

Covering half of the smokey hill,

A lone cloud is drifting away still.
